B ooks SPECIMEN OF A LETTER OF SYMPATI-IY Written by Ralph Piper Dear----: Because you have fallen into the bonds of matrimony, because you have now taken one of the female sex to be your lawfully wedded wife, because you have fallen into the pit of unhappiness, and because you have left the world of contentment and enjoyment. I feel it is my duty to send a letter of sympathy. Having known you for many years and knowing now that you have reached the land of the deceased, I have no words to express my most sincere sympathy. You are the last of my friends to be taken in by the spider, the female, and I am sorry to no end. Your Most Unhappy Friend, P. S.-Don't show this to your wife.
