<h2>CHAPTER XIX</h2>
<h3>A LETTER</h3></div>
<p>Letter from Miss Frances Stuyvesant to Donald
Pendleton, Esq.:––</p>
<blockquote>
<p><span class='smcap'>PARIS, FRANCE</span>, June 20.</p>
<p><span class='smcap'>DEAR OLD DON</span>:––</p>
</blockquote>
<p>I’m having a very good time, Don, dear, and I
know you’ll be glad to hear that. Dolly has a
great many friends in Paris, and so has Dad, and
so has Chic. Between them all we are very gay.
But it is raining to-day, and somehow I’ve been
worrying about your being in town with nothing
to do but work. I do hope you are taking care of
yourself and running to the shore or the mountains
for the week-ends.</p>
<p>Now I must hurry up and dress; but please
remember that I am still, as always,</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Your <span class='smcap'>FRANCES</span>.</p>
