party when You and ] met in the Cat

10 hear from her. She informs me that
she is engaged TO a gentleman in New
York; that she and he had a quarrel a
month or two ago; that he intended to
90 TO California; that they have made
it all up, and that he has now aban-
dcned his trip. I congratulate you. She
