Abstract
A letter from Albert Hafner to his fiancée Elizabeth Chandler in Massachusetts. Chandler has a fascination with fortune-telling and is disappointed to have turned down a basket peddler offering her future, but Hafner says it wouldn't be in her nature to look to fortune-telling instead of real, improbable futures. He recounts his encounter with Mr. Joe Patten, who recently returned from a vacation to Boston. He said he looked for Hafner in the Northeast because he assumed Hafner would've taken off the moment he had a chance to leave Tarpon Springs. Hafner laments that he has spent so much time without Elizabeth, as he wished to be with her and ask her parents for their blessing to marry. However, Hafner concludes that this time was for the best, and soon he will be able to see her again.
