<salute>MY DEAR FRIEND,</salute>
</opener>
<p><smcap>Does</smcap> not my friend think me a stupid girl, when <lb/>
she has kindly offered to correspond with me, that <lb/>
I should be so senseless as not to accept the offer? <lb/>

<!-- etc. -->

<p>I can say, in the length of this epistle, I 've made <lb/>
the golden rule mine. Pray, my friend, do not let it <lb/>
be long before you write to your ever affectionate</p>
<closer>
<signed>A. S.</signed>
<ps>P.S. My regards to your good man. I've no <lb/>
acquaintance with him, but if you love him, I do, <lb/>
and should be glad to see him.</ps>
</closer>
