Ella :
My dear Arthur, you never showed up, and now after looking at the news papers I understand why. I don’t imagine you’ll receive this letter but I non the less 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 cannot live another way. When I’m with you, the world makes sense but for when we are apart I see clearly that your world is not a world from which one can escape. I’m so sorry for everything, for everything long ago, and for starting up that business again. There’s a good man with in you Arthur, but he is wrestling with a giant. And the giant wins, time and again. You have broken my heart again, and I fear I have broken yours and 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’ll find some people 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.
