How must I feel, and what can, or could I say even if you let me say all? I am most grateful, most happy – – most happy, come what will!
Will you let me try and answer your note to-morrow – – before Wednesday when I am to see you? I will not hide from you that my head aches now; and I have let the hours go by one after one – – I am better all the same, and will write as I say – – ‘Am I better’ you ask!
Yours I am, ever yours my dear friend R.B.
