Letter 6079: Not a day goes by without a letter from me.
Not a day goes by without a letter from me. What if you returned the favor? Still, I don't regret my diligence, even though the courtesy of reciprocity goes unobserved. Acts done out of love are pleasing even when they go unreciprocated.
I'm making my way back to health, but slowly. That's why I'm postponing any decision about a longer journey until my recovery is further along. I'm eager to hear what you've decided about coming back or spending time at your suburban estate. Farewell.
