Dear Aldonia,<br>
I hope this letter will find you well, my dear. I cannot wait to see your beautiful face once again. I can hardly contain my joy. Only yesterday, did I send notice to your father that I have met his requirements for your hand. I am confident that we will be together soon. I am so excited that I must write to you now, even if I cannot send it until I have heard back from your father.<br>
As your father required, I have purchased a home for us. Not just any house, but a beautiful countryside manor. In fact it is large enough that I can work at home and not bother you or our beautiful children, when we have them.<br>
I can hardly believe my fortune, unfortunately it rises from a sad event. One of my customers was bringing in a diamond to be examined for a setting. Immediately after they dropped off the diamond, they were attacked. The entire traveling party was killed on the road out of town. It was very sad to have this happen. They were regular customers and quite friendly. Not the uppity type I usually have to deal with.<br>
Unfortunately these customers had no children yet. In fact they had no relations of any kind. At least none that I am aware of or I would have sent diamond to their heirs. So when the Legion soldiers came and asked if they had kept their appointment, I simply said no, they never showed. Everyone thinks the diamond was stolen after the fight, no one knows I have it.<br>
I had no idea what I had. I never looked at it when they dropped it off. They just gave me the box and asked me to set it. As I said, they were regular customers, and I know their taste. I am sure they assumed I would set it something appropriate. After the soldiers left, I opened the box and could not believe my eyes. It was the Gorvette Diamond. Aldonia, we are wealthy beyond our dreams.<br>
I sold off the business in town and used the money to buy our new home. I kept the gems that were not sold yet to start my new business here. Unfortunately, I will need to do some work, since I cannot sell the diamond for years. But we will retire young enough to enjoy our children and grandchildren.<br>
I have told your father that I have purchased this home and have met his conditions. I am sure he will give me your hand forthwith and we can be together. As soon I receive his reply affirming our wedding plans, I will send this. I am enclosing some large rubies so you may travel here in style. Only the best for my beloved Aldonia.<br>
Until we meet, take care my bride.<br>
<br>
Love.<br>
