The honor of the meeting was most definitely mine. I don't often see such finely mannered men around the station, so it was a nice change.
You need not worry about an air if impropriety in regard to my dear cousin. I'm sure if the circumstances had been different you would have followed proper protocol. And it is good that Dr O'Hara was there to chaperone. He is very fond of our aunt and we consider him family.
There is one thing that I wish to express. It is no longer ill-mannered to write directly to anyone, regardless of gender. I will pass along your regards to my cousin, but in the future it is perfectly acceptable to write to her rather than through me. I do hope that no offense is taken by this simple correction as it is not my intention.
Any time Miss Sully requires a chaperone, I will happily do so at her request. And I hope to hear of that request soon as she seems to be very fond of you already. I've not seen her smile so much in one evening in quite a while.
