Wed.

My Darling Love

Your dear dear little note is such a joy to accompany me on my voyage. I had to wait some time before getting a chance to read it. Darling I can never tell you how much you are to me, all you give me, all you make me be. It is quite beyond words. All this time I have loved you more every day, and I have felt that your love made me more worthy of it. My heart, I am yours utterly. I am full of energy for the work I have to do — I want to pass on to others some fragment of the good you have made me know.

I shall write again later, but this must be posted at Eger. How wonderful all our talks were up to the very end.

Young Isaacs is in the next compartment learning Roman Law. He tells me Philip is arriving tomorrow.

Don’t get cholera or typhoid or anything will you? You must think of yourself as something infinitely precious. I can’t now conceive how my life could be without you. Goodbye, goodbye, my Dearest, my Love, my Joy, my Life. Goodbye. Goodbye.

Your
B.
