I know I ought to be ashairls have done very little else but reht and day But I’ve been busy doing alo up to Trenton on account of her sister has been “ill”

Do not worry aboutout the wash and froood physical shape

These opening lines filled me with joy My as still my wife My fears were unjustified The letter sounded socomplaints, the earded Mazie’s sister’s problerape

Later on, when I reflected on thisat that point

Ben, I et to the point I have suffered and wept hts over this Finally I have reached my decision There is no reason for me to delay the pain for both of us, and pain there will surely be when I tell you what is in my heart

I think it would be best for all involved if I move back in with my father

I read that last sentence again… and again…

I doubt this will truly come as a surprise to you You know that we have not been in love, as husband and wife must be, for some time now

My hand was shaking now The paper began to rattle and my eyes burned

I rested ,” I said out loud

I have prayed much about this matter, and have spoken to my father about the situation

I should have known Meg had consulted the one god in her life, the alhty Colonel Wilfred A Haverbrook, US Arreed with her that her husband was a miserable failure

I know that my decision may strike you as a terrible mistake on my part Yet I believe it is the only correct solution to our dilemma We must be honest with each other and ourselves

I think it best if you do not come home at this tiin the steps necessary to bring about a most painful but inevitable result

Cordially, your wife
