Courtship letter – Cowper’s father appears to have agreed to the engagement – he has visited her and everything is settled. Cowper says she has never seen a man worth caring about until she saw Madan. She talks about her happiness and feeling – she’ll be home all day, and wishes that he will visit as soon as he can.
