Description

1934 February 25, Letter and dance invitation card from Charles, Knoxville, Tennessee, to Mabel Francis Gray, Memphis, Tennessee.

Excerpt: "Frances, I know I've known you a long time, but it was only last night that I realized that you are the sweetest girl in the world. When we were both going to high school, I was crazy about you, but I didn't know how to tell you so. Perhaps I was rather dumb, and then again I didn't know whether you cared a thing for me or not. It was probably all my fault anyway. You don't know what that kiss meant to me last night. More than I can ever say. I'm wondering if it meant anything to you. I'll remember it as the first time I've ever kissed you and one of the big things in my life. It must have meant that you liked me just a little bit. Does it? I'm sorry I haven't written you more than I have, but I think that we can only profit by our mistakes. If you are willing, I know on my part, that I want to write you and hear from you as often as is possible."
