Asking a Gentleman to be a Godfather

On Saturday I made the executive decision I would only post on weekdays (not that weekdays are that much different from weekends at this point). So, if you see a post on Saturday or Sunday in the future, it means I am out of my mind bored. Not that I don't enjoy sharing these posts, on the contrary, I am thoroughly enjoying the experience.

Honestly, one of the reasons I didn't actually post is because I was feeling rather content with things. I believe my antidote is in fact Doctor Who. Who would have thought? I watched all of the newest season (which I was saving for a special occasion rather than watching it as it premiered), and promptly went back to classic Who. I'm on the 5th Doctor.

Here's the letter, quite a personal one for such an impersonal letter, in my opinion.


Asking a Gentleman to be a Godfather

5 Tavistock Terrace, S.W.           
March 1st.     
          Dear Mr. Ross,
                 We should be very pleased if you would consent to be godfather to our little son. Mr. and Mrs. Oldfield have promised to be the other sponsors, and the christening is to take place on April 23rd at St. Mark's Church. We intend having a luncheon party on that day in honour of the event. Should you be too much engaged to be present, my husband would represent you at the church, and perhaps you would be able to look in at the luncheon. We should be very pleased to see you.
      With our united kind regards,
                                           Very truly yours,
                                                           Catherine Willis.
