Dearest Boy
If you have not made any arrangements with which this proposal would interfere, Pater and I would like to dine with you on Christmas Day. I write to you rather than to Gertrude, because I should not like that either she or the Miss Gillies should feel that any other family arrangement had been superseded and you can tell me at once if there is any danger of that, without mentioning my proposal to them. Pater and I shall be quite contented to dine at home.
Just as my pen is beginning to make decent marks I have no more to write than that I am
Your loving
Mutter
