My dear Mrs. Holt,
It is indeed a long time since we have met, but Mrs. [Julia Ellsworth] Ford and I have often spoken of you, and I have asked her many times to remember me to you.
I shall be very glad to come and dine with you on the December the third at half past seven. It is most gracious of you to ask me, and I shall be happy to see you again and to have the pleasure of meeting your friends.
Very sincerely, yours
Kahlil Gibran
