15th February, 1891
My dear Evelyn,
You are, my dearest sister, a lifesaver.
I, of course, bow to your superior judgement on modistes, fashion, and the social graces of young ladies. I would urge you to reach out to Ruby directly to finesse the details—I am a doting father, but rather bumbling as a middle-man, I fear. Please assure her that you and she have my utmost confidence when you do.
