once in while when you seem very
very far from me, it troubles me.

And another thing in your letter
which made me bless you. There are
two things about you which always
seemed most wonderful in your love -
one was your understanding and the
second was the freedom you have
always given me. You have made me
more truly your slave by giving me
absolute freedom from any restraint
your love had the right to lay on
me than any master could have done
with the buying of his negro in older
times. I have thought of that so
very, very often - you have never
curtailed me in the tiniest way,
and what I have given, I have given
freely and happily. The first time you
kissed me - I wanted you to kiss me,
even though I fought very hard not
to want you to. Oh Wynne I just
can't express on paper - or with
words either - how much I love
you for that greatest of all unselfishness
in your love for me, but I do want
you to know that that is a chain which
will rivet my soul to yours, paradoxical
