but to have those & a marvellous burning bodily & mental
passion as well - that is a miracle & must be very
rare. We must keep it always - will that be your
aim as well as mine, darling?

About you, my sweet & pretty, Barbara, I always & always
have the feeling that we have still to reach the
peak of passion & thrill & excitement & wonder -
& though I know you so well, there is always more
of you to know & discover & every time we make
love it is new & splendid & I feel gloriously happy.
You are a wife & a woman fit for a god, my
sweetheart, & always I shall be trying to keep
you as my very own .

If only it were possible for me to do something
to assure the success of my application. All I can
do is to hope, & pray all the time & those
things I do do. And try my best to have faith -
& believe that some ruling & deciding destiny will
look after us, & see that of all people on earth,
you especially, & me too, deserve the blessed
reward of being allowed to be together & to
cary on our lives - & not to have to go on
living in misery for goodness only knows how
long. We shall never be ungrateful - & we
will always do our best to lead good & useful
lives, as well as happy ones.

All my love forever my darling
so beloved Barbar - & love & kisses
to Maxie, & loving kisses to you -
Harry.
