Dear Miss Molly,
If your dance card for the upcoming ball is not already spoken for, I would be delighted if you would do me the honor of reserving me the first dance of the evening. If you have already given your word to another, then I would like to put in my name for either the subsequent waltz or Virginia Reel (provided those forms of dance are not too antiquated for this event.)
Sincerely,
Dr. J.H. Holliday
