My dear Arthur, You never showed up, and now, after looking at the newspapers, i understand why. I don't imagine you will receive this letter but I nonetheless must send it Arthur, oh, Arthur. I was just starting to dream the silliest and softest of dreams.I miss you,and I will always miss you, but I cannot live like that, and it seems you can not live any other way.
When I am with you, the world makes sense but when we are apart, I see clearly that your world is not a world from which one can escape.I am so sorry, for everything long ago and for starting up that business again. There's a good man within you, Arthur, but he is wrestling with a giant. And the giant, wins, time and again. You've broken my heart again, and I fear I
have broken yours. For that, I will never
forgive myself, but you must let me go now. I enclose a ring you gave me many
years ago, when we were both young, not because I don't like it, but because I care for it far too much, and it reminds me too much of you. I hope, one day you will find some people in love who can use this, for it kept me thinking of you all these
years, and I hope that by returning it to you, I can
finally, be free. Goodbye, Mary.
