Dear Mabel:

My dearest Agnes, Your own, A Complaint.

WILLIAM.

June 10, 1892.

It is with pain I write to you in aught that can seem like a strain of reproach, but I confess that your conduct last night both surprised and vexed me. You received Mr. Watson's attentions in so marked a way that I feel it due to yourself to comment on your conduct. Believe me, I am in no way given to idle jealousy; still less am I selfish or unmanly enough to wish to deprive any girl on whom I have so firmly fixed my affections of any pleasure to be obtained in good society. But my peace of mind would be lost forever, did I believe that I had lost one atom of your affection.

Pray write, and assure me that you still preserve your undivided affection for Your devoted but grieved, JIM.
