My Dearest "Cris"
Light of my heart, you can not imagine how I am longing for one glance of your dancing black orbs. "I am lonely tonight here without you." "Do you ever think of me"? It seems like years since last we met, and there's a sigh in my heart to behold thee. What shall I say of the cruel fate, (in the shape of Miss Townsend), that parted us; but never mind my dear the time is coming when our destinies will be united and you will have the exquisite delight of [...]ing me till I want no more, which will give you untold happiness. I have not time, my love, to tell you of all that has occurred since I last saw you, for it is nearly time for that bell which warns us to our little beds and nightmares, so I must bid you a fond adieu, hoping that ere many moons shall wax and wane, I may be blessed with one of your most tempting smiles.
Good night my own one. Yours, 'Daffy down dilly'."
