I confess that at first I was rather disappointed as well as doubtful as to her marriage with you. There are so many young men here in her own town that both her father and I have known ever since they were children who, it seemed to me, would make a most suitable match. Besides, 1 hated to feel that when Leslie married she would go to an- other city; but of course I have lived long enough to know that when love speaks, we fathers and mothers muist step aside.
