Abstract
A letter from Albert Hafner to his fiancée Elizabeth Chandler in Massachusetts. He reviews a clipping about Unitarianism Chandler sent him and reflects on his free-thinking views of religion. Hafner ponders what he and Chandler will be reading once they are married and how they will discuss it in person. He also tells her that if she were with him, he would have the pleasure of confiding in her about his stress and value her consideration. Hafner responds about a friend of Chandler's who cares for rats, emphasizing the fact that she kisses these pets. He then reviews another clipping Chandler sent to him about the language of monkeys. For the remainder of the letter, he discusses the stamps he sends for Chandler's young Family member Winthrop and the Canoes and canoeing trips he embarked on with some of the hotel guests who remain in good health. He closes with a story about a piece of wood eaten by shipworms and thanks Chandler for her correspondence and support.
