telling you about my idea of the kind of good fellow a wife ought to be. To myself I was thinking, "Here's the girl who would fit the qualifications for me." But the thought was not followed by any determination to win you. I knew I had as my principal purpose then a desire to do something in the war and I had no notion I could combine with the military campaign the sort of campaign it would take to interest you. So if you had not simply taken a natural liking to me and made the way easy in your heart for the astounding proposal I made that night in December I might not be the exceedingly fortunate and happy man I am today. The romance and the wonder of it all are enhanced for me
