How to mark auspicious event

[To a couple who sent a printed letter to him, mentioning the fact of their marriage and asking for his blessing].

We wish you would both render disinterested service. That the request for blessing should have been made on a printed card detracts from its value. If you seek blessings you should write in your own hand and state some good resolutions you have made to mark the auspicious event.
