I am home - home again - back in San Francisco - back to my work! Oh I could hug the world! And to greet me in the silent, cheery little apartment was your letter of June 21st, saying maybe you would be home soon. And my heart is overflowing so with happiness that

here I am writing to you before I have taken my hat and veil off. And you, you poor dumpy man o' my heart, with your sickening doubts - if I could just see you one minute, I would drive all your doubts away! Don't I know the feeling - that horrible, the-earth-is-falling-and-I-with-it feeling, when your greatest horror is the suffering you will cause the other fellow if you have made a mistake! But I tell you now, my Dear, that when we see each other again,

everything will be all right. Fundamentals do not change in two years, and neither of us were in love with the outside of the other person. And besides, each of us is as free as the winds to love or not love, and if there has been a mistake made, we

will both understand.

But now I - I love you wildly at this moment. I love everything in the whole world and you most of all. And tomorrow I go back to my beloved patients - bless their hearts. I don't believe there's a thing in the world any one of them
