LETTERS TO PROSPECTIVE FATHERS-IN-LAW
A young man desiring to marry a young girl does not, in polite
society, "pop the question" to her by mail, unless she happens,
at the time, to be out of the city or otherwise unable to
"receive." It is often advisable, however, after she has said
"yes," to write a letter to her father instead of calling on him
to ask for his permission to the match, as a personal interview
is often apt to result unsatisfactorily. In writing these letters
to prospective fathers-in-law, the cardinal point is, of course,
the creation by the young man of a good impression in the mind of
the father, and for this purpose he should study to make his
letter one which will appeal irresistibly to the older
gentleman's habits and tastes.
Thus, in writing to a father who is above everything else a
"business man," the following form is suggested:
