Tuesday
Dearest Ruben
Your sweet letter came this morning. Do you know how anxiously I look for them Every day. Of course I know there is nothing new to tell— Any more than I have to tell you— but I just like to read that you love me & want me.I am always so driven to de death
with work that sometimes I have no time to tell you even this— But always and all the time I want you & love you. Somehow my old doubts & fears have all vanished & gone & I only want you— you alone — & only begun in the best way to bring it all about in the shortest time. Should I come down for Sunday or for Saturday & Sunday & could you go to Alton. If not perhaps I had better not come until F. gets back — for I will feel all right about it then as he asked me. Ever & ever with all my love— —
