My Darling

Your little letter4 of Sunday was so dear — I thought we had fixed to have a month together, and I was hurt that even at this time you had not enough wish to be with me to give up the search for work for the moment — But no doubt that was foolish — I am bad at bearing uncertainty — it has made this time a miserable one to me — But we will be happy when we meet, even if it is only for 2 nights — I want you so terribly. I wonder if you will ever want any one as I want you. If you ever do, you will understand. Goodbye my dear.
