Abstract
A letter from Albert Hafner to his fiancée Elizabeth Chandler in Massachusetts. Hafner writes her a short letter at 5 in the morning after taking the canoe out to the Anclote River. He then writes her a longer letter telling her how happy it makes him to write to her. Hafner says many of his friends think he overestimates the ability a woman has to understand a man, but he disagrees, saying Chandler understands him perfectly. He tells her she has given him a clarity of thought and purpose he lacked before they began writing each other. Hafner closes by updating Chandler on an anonymous female writer in Truth magazine who many single men in town are seeking to identify.
