Abstract

A letter from Albert Hafner to his fiancée Elizabeth Chandler in Massachusetts. Hafner confesses he has not yet sent Chandler's kind letters for his parents. He confides that his father understands little about his children and is a stern judge of women and horses; Hafner refuses to hear judgment of Chandler, so he waits until her words will land more welcomely. Upon receiving his father's reply to Chandler's picture, Hafner writes out his father's response in German for her to read. He is amazed and pleased to read that his father approves highly of Chandler, despite his tendency for criticism.
