Dearest,
To day is the one day of my life that I can say that I miss you more than I have ever missed anyone; that you seem nearer to me than ever; that life has never has seemed so worth the living; that the future has never held out so much for me; that complete happiness seems to fill my life; and it is all because we love each other, and the days to come are ours. Our attitude towards each other is so changed; we are trying to help each other, we trust, we understand—and that means a perfect love.
No one can ever rob us of the sweet memories of these last three days; they are ours for all time, and there is no reason why our future, with the complete love, trust and understanding that will always guide us, may not be as full of everything that makes life beautiful and worth living as were the hours we had have just had together.
I am so glad you are with Miss Hooker. Please give her my kindest regards. Why not tell her—about my great happiness.
Good night, my darling.
Cary.
