My dear Arthur, You never showed up, and after looking at the newspapers, I understand why. I don’t imagine that you’ll receive this letter—But I, nonetheless must send it. Arthur, Oh Arthur… I was just starting to dream of 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’t live any other way. When I am with you, the world makes sense, but when we are apart, I can see clearly your world is not a world from which one can escape. I am so sorry, for everything, for everything long ago and for starting up that business again. There’s a good man within you, Arthur, But he is wrestling a giant; and the giant wins, time again. You’ve broken my heart, again, and I fear I have broke yours for that, I will never forgive myself, but you must let me go now. I enclose you a ring you gave me many years ago, when we were 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 who are in love who can use this, for it kept me thinking of you all these years, and I hope by returning it.. I can finally be free.
Goodbye, Mary.
