The post below is a typed version of a letter from Arthur Leary to Helen Leary (married name Keenan). The letter is about Helen's engagement and upcoming marriage to Hubert Keenan. Arthur was in Washington, DC at the time getting his master's degree from Catholic University. Arthur talks about the plans and also gets philosophical and gives some advice. Enjoy!
