“Dearest Morty: It's June first. That means our wedding is only three weeks away! I'm so happy, I just can't think of anything else. Isn't it marvelous, my sweet, that with all the millions and millions of people in the world, you and I should have met. .. and fallen in love... and now we'll soon be married! Or do you think it was all planned that way, long ago perhaps - even before we were born?” reads the first few lines of the letter.

“Anyway, precious, I think I'M the luckiest woman in the world! I'm going to devote my life to making you happy. I promise! Darling, we really should decide between Lake George and Lake Placid right away otherwise we're likely to spend our honeymoon in little old New York. But there's always your brother's [sic] in Canada,” it continues.

“Love me too, precious. Don't ever stop loving me. You are the most important thing in life to me now you know that, don't you? All my love and a million kisses. Pauline,” it further reads.
