Abstract
A letter from Albert Hafner to his fiancée Elizabeth Chandler in Massachusetts. Hafner compliments Chandler on a fundraising fair she helped put together, saying that Tarpon Springs rarely hosts an event that is financially successful. He then tells her about a broken walkway by the bayou that women in town insisted he and other men help fix. Hafner gives an update on the new Tarpon Springs Yacht Club he has joined and recounts a story about saving his friend Margarita, a woman who is a skilled sailor, on her sinking canoe. Hafner closes by discussing the death of Mr. Wilson, which Chandler informed him of. On March 21, he tells Chandler he has just learned of his father's death.
