| Where | A meeting that evening at 7:30; no place given |
A missed connection with the meeting already arranged. M. 2024 may be a reply number or a private signature, and the blond may be the writer or someone else; either way, the notice names no place, so both sides already knew it. It ran in the same PERSONAL column as a woman’s question, “Is there an honorable, liberal man of means?” For where people in New Jersey post missed connections now, see our guide to personal ads in New Jersey.
