My dear Miss Rebecca
Philadelphia 14th Adar 5614
I do not for a moment suspect, that the friendly sentiments which a long acquaintance has engendered, require any extraneous support to prevent their extinction; they are, I trust, rooted in the memory of past acts of reciprocal kindness, which the hand of time cannot erase. If I therefore beg of you, on this commemorative day, the acceptance of the accompanying trifle, it is merely in obedience to our good queen Esther's injunction "[Hebrew]" and not as a ward against oblivion. But you will say, that if such alone had been my season, it was then scarcely needful I should commit to a letter the achievement of my purpose; I must then acknowledge that in doing thus, I was also activated by some peculiar feelings—namely, by a desire that my congratulations, on the approaching new happy era which is opening before you, may be not heaped in common with the many you will receive on that felicitous occasion; but that, even after the excitement of the first moments shall have subsided into the calm pleasures of a matrimonial life attending the state of wedlock, you may in glancing over these lines, be convinced, that among those who sincerely wish you unalloyed happiness, you may safely reckon
yours truly
