I must write a little letter for the boy if time can be found to be read when he grows up. Dearest when the right man comes to help you in life you ought to be your happy self again. I hope I shall be a good memory and I like to think that the boy will have a good start in parentage of which he may be proud.

Dear it is not easy to write because of the cold . You know I have loved you, you know my thoughts must have constantly dwelt on you and, oh dear me, you must know that quite the worst aspect of this situation is the thought that I shall not see you again. ...

You see I am anxious for you and the boy's future -- make the boy interested in natural history if you can, it is better than games they encourage at some schools. …Oh my dear my dear what dreams I have had of his future and yet of my girl.

What lots and lots I could tell you of this journey. What tales you would have for the boy but oh what a price to pay to forfeit the sight of your dear dear face. ...

My dear one

How can I guess how things will be with you when you get this… But oh dearie I am full of hope. My brave man will win. …

Now don’t forget to brush your hair – and don’t smoke so much and altogether you’re a ducky darling and hurray for you!

I don’t know if you’ll ever get these silly little letters, and it’s truly to tell you that I love your and moreover I think you are splendid.

I am glad and happy and I’m getting to be very healthy and fit – when you come home we’ll feel closer and closer together and the long time we’ve been apart will seem only a little hour.

My all the good gods conspire to bring my Con through his great difficulties with a glad heart and a constant hope.

Bless you dearest of men. K.
