Abstract
A letter from Albert Hafner to his fiancée Elizabeth Chandler in Massachusetts. He thanks her for the support she provides through her letters and discusses the difference between a wife who is a "puppet" and a wife who is a free thinker. Hafner compares hearing from Elizabeth to wishing to return to a dream after waking from sleep. He tells Chandler it isn't unusual to go without hearing from his father for over a year, but he used to hear from his mother regularly. Now, she leaves the correspondence to her husband as it all discusses her wayward son Joseph. Hafner's father finds his theories about the world to be meaningless; Chandler agrees with them. He confesses to keeping one of Chandler's previous gossiping letters but promises her his confidentiality. The building of his business will be finished by October 1st. Hafner shares a German publication with Chandler. He closes by saying white is a good color for a canoe and will take no more girls on the water until Chandler gets to go in it.
