Abstract
A letter from Albert Hafner to his fiancée Elizabeth Chandler in Massachusetts. Hafner says he sailed to Anclote Key to look for sea cows at her request. He did not find any, though he saw three marine mammals often called sea cows that are actually porpoises. He compliments Chandler's youthfulness and responds to her calling him her German teacher. He updates her on his cigar business and teases her about encountering and impressing other men on her vacation, saying any compliment made to her is a compliment to him as her fiancé.
