My dear Meg,

Many thanks for letter & congratulations! I send photo of wife & baby (Molly) - a dear little daughter.

I am so glad you are to be married soon, & may you be exceedingly happy, & have sons and daughters, all good & fine!

Yes, I will gladly marry you, & have noted Oct. 7th as the date.

Love to all, Your affectionate Cousin - Harry
