You must know. Surely you must know it was all for you. You are too generous to trifle with me. I believe you spoke with my aunt last night... and it has taught me to hope as I had scarcely allowed myself before. If your feelings are still what they were last April tell me so at once. my affections and wishes have not changed but one word from you will silence me forever. If, however, your feelings have changed I would have to tell you, you have bewitched me, body and soul and I love...I love... I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on.
