I am so glad you are going to marry, & I hope it's going to be a very short engagement, & that you'll both come abroad soon, & see your Paris relations..."

The date of this letter would seem to be some time after the Whartons purchased their first motor car in 1904 and before she sold her Lenox home, The Mount, in 1912.
