My Dear Callie
I regret that we cannot witness the ceremony which is so important for happiness to you.
You will find married life charming if your choice companion shall prove worthy of my dear Callie. My Husband joins in wishing you a long life full of the choicest blessings of matrimony.
Your friend
[Signed] E.F. Gilmer

Bring flowers fresh flowers for the Bride to wear,
They were born to blush in her shining hair
She is leaving the home of her childhoods [childhood's] mirth
She bids farewell to her fathers' [father's] hearth
Her place is now by anothers' [another's] side,
Bring flowers to deck the fair young Bride,
