Respected Friend
As it has been quite a while since I have seen or heard from you, I take the liberty of sending this note to know if you have any objections to taking a drive some evening soon.
If not, any eve you name will suit me.
Hoping you have not been working too awful hard since you came from that learned city and that you will not be offended at this note. I will close.
I remain as ever your friend.

Wow what a treasure and glimpse into the past! I love that you preserved this. I’m curious if it’s a family heirloom or found among treasures. Super cool!
