"If you will not accept me i have another very nice woman in my eye, and i think i shall marry her if you do not accept of me, but i thought you would suit me mother better, she being very crusty at times." I'm dying laughing!
I once had a fellow half again more than forty years tell me he’d always wanted a wife and children and thought I would do quite well for the job. Needless to say, I did not accept that proposal either. 😅
“Or if my mother dies afore I shall want you afore.” Amazing.

Listening to that terrible "love letter" read out loud was THE BEST. My kids and I were all cracking up!
