Start:

Dear Miss Mills,

I received your letter. It took two months in the coming, so please forgive me, I’ve already written you twice since. I am most happy to make your acquaintance, and I’m anxious to hear all about you. As for me, I’d like to report on our good progress, but it isn’t the case. This canal seem a near-impossible mission, but here we be, digging until day end bathed in mud up to our necks [...]

End:

I see you sitting at your sewing machine. I hear the sound of the wheel turning, the tiny stitches drawing together the pieces of satin. They got machines here which take six men to operate, and slice through stone like butter. All this wonder and waste, but your letter be the most splendid thing and shall ride in my pocket until the next.

Yours sincerely, George Armstrong.
