A newspaper clipping that had been enclosed in the letter dropped to the floor.

He read: DEAR LEE: After thinking the matter over very carefully, I've decided to release you from our engagement.

If this pains you, as I fear it will, I'm extremely sorry, but I've discovered that we're not temperamentally suited to each other.

You've failed, besides, so I understand, which further convinces me of that.
And in addition, I've learned of late that I love another, who loves me.

Therefore it's much better that I take this step, much better and much wiser--don't you think so?
However, Lee, I shall always be your friend.
It may interest you to know that this evening Mr.Gretzinger and I are to be married.
