My Darling1^, 2

Pleasea don’t read the letter I sent you through the post.3 Your letter made it out of date — the other letter, by hand,4 is an answer to yours.

I love you and you love me — so nothing can be really disastrous. But I do want to feel that you are on the side of the things that really matter, and not among those who snatch the world’s goods regardless of the cost to others — I know you are for good things really — but one can’t always remember what one believes underneath. I know I have been forgetting many things lately.

I do love you,
