The young gentlemen are more particular about the weather
than I am — and having notified me that I was not to be “surprised” tonight
have greatly disappointed me. If the young ladies partake of my annoyance, I
hope they will also partake of the pleasure I anticipate of seeing them some
early evening under more auspicious circumstances. I would even now beg your
family and friends to come, but am afraid the gumbo would be a poor
inducement.
Truly yours,
A. V. Toby.
