Wish me luck my friends, for tomorrow I go ashore to marry my lady-love, Miss Margaret Emily Waterman. We will be surrounded by our friends and family in a little country church near my estate, Birdsall Cottage.
You may recall, dear reader, that I proposed to Miss Waterman just over a year ago at the Fair at New Boston. It came as quite a surprise to the young lady in question, as I had had no intention of re-marrying when she and I first met.

It is my hope that you can be as happy as Miss Waterman has made me in the time we have known each other. I wish you all happiness and success and know that I remain,
Your Humble & Obedient Servant,
