our baby daughter, I will make make up for this
ghastly, tragic, & so unhappily inopportune parting.
I will be so marvellously loving & kind & thoughtful
& attentive that you will, perhaps, think it worth
while that I was away this time. If only because
it has mad me such a perfect husband of a
pregnant wife.
I feel, my darling, that out of all the uncertainty, all
this welter of confusion, lack of knowledge of what is
going to happen - there is just one thing which is
absolutely certain & about which there is no doubt or
arguement - & to which we can & must cling & which
helps us to look forward - & that is the certainty
that when we come together again, there is
wonderful, assured happiness for us, no matter
what the conditions may be. I'm quite certain
that I shall love you more & more & with a
better love, that passion will be more wonderful
than ever it has been before - that we shall be
more to each other in every way & so our lives
will be more interesting & happier in every
way. I feel it is going to be so wonderful, that
I cannot put it into words. But I also feel
that you feel the same, & understand what
I mean. And I am quite certain that neither
of us will be disappointed. It is very lovely
to look forward to my sweetheart - & I have
a quiet & very steady faith in this.
Your letter also told me about Amy's arrival,
