This anthology issue presents romantic stories framed around love letters. The first story follows a woman recounting her past relationship with a man named Spence, revealing how she stole a skin food cream from him, their brief reconnection attempt that was rejected by the post office, and her discovery of his love letter hidden in a newspaper clipping about a ski lodge, leading her to pursue him across the country. A second story depicts a woman named Ellen at a company farewell party who reconnects with a man named John Carton, the company president, rekindling a romance that had faded after he was assigned to work in Central America, with the two agreeing to give their relationship another chance. The final visible story shows a woman recounting a chance encounter with a stranger at a barn dance, where they shared a magical moment before he mysteriously disappeared, only to have him suddenly reappear in her life asking for a second chance.
