Dear Sister,
Your beau has written me asking to become better acquainted. I presume that since you agreed to court him, you intend to allow him to marry you, but if that is not the case and you wish me to dissuade him from further pursuing you please let me know at once and I will be only too happy to oblige.
Of course, as a potential future husband for you I will have many questions for him, but I do hold your opinion in high esteem, particularly in a matter which will have great effect on your own future. If there is any question you would like put to him, that you might not do yourself for fear of seeming too direct, I shall be your proxy.
