问题 Dear Professor and Mrs. Lang,
    I don’t know whether this letter will come as a surprise to you, for I think you must have seen during the happy time I spent in your home last Christmas, how very fond I was of Frieda. We have worked together every day at Mr. Priestley’s, and for some time now I have realized that the friendship and affection that I have always had for her had turned to love. I hardly dared to hope that Frieda felt the same and asked her to marry me, and to my great joy she said Yes. I hope you will feel that she and I have known each other long enough to be quite sure in our own minds that we love each other and want, more than anything else in the world, to be married. It would make us both very happy to know that our engagement would have your approval and blessing, and so I am writing formally to ask for your consent.
    I realize that there is very little that I can offer Frieda materially. I have only a small private income on which to live until I qualify as doctor, but Frieda is quite confident that under her careful management we can have a comfortable little home on it. For my part, I will devote my life to ensuring that she will be as happy as all my love can make her.
    My best wishes to you both.
                                                                Your sincerely,
                                                                Jan Solski
