My Beloved

It seems a very long time since I had a letter from you. I hope there will be one this afternoon — I do long for you, Beloved — No one else in all the world gives that union in all that is great and shining and wonderful that I get from you — The depths of my being are yours irrevocably — I feel sure that nothing but death can end that.

I love you, my precious treasure, my comrade in a lonely world — all my heart yearns to you. — Goodbye — Bless you, my Heart’s Life —
