Dear Miss Holbrook,
I hope this letter finds you well. The weather has been particularly cheerful these past few days. This morning I found myself yearning for a stroll. I know we left off our conversation at an odd spot and I would like to speak to you at length without the pressure of you having someone else to attend to.

If riding is perhaps more appealing to you I could arrange for that instead? I shall leave the details up to you.
Sincerely,
