My dear and most respected Sir:—
! send you this your blood to stir;
It is you that I have ehoaen first of all,
On whom to make my "Leap Year's"
call.
I've given you the foremost chance,
A home for you I would advance.
Your heart and hand I ask in just.
And you will grant my fond request.
Your answer saying, "yes" or "nay. "
But if your hand does not incline,
In. "wedlock" to join with mine.
Then you must "Leap Year's" rule obey,
And down to me Hve dollars pay,—
A handsome dress—I ask no more and
take no less.
Now, you may think this is rather
funny.
But I must have the man or money,
And do now send me your repty
And let me be your wife until I die.
But if you think I am a dandy.
Send to me a box of candy.
Now as for me there is no hope.
Send to me six yards of rope.
If the writer's name you guess.
Send this back to my address.
With love and lots of kisses,
Front the one who wants to b*< your
