Oh sweet William
My heart is broken and still I weep. My darling I cannot imagine a life without you, let alone your life with another woman! I would ask if there is anything you can do, but I know from your words there is not. Oh sweet one, my mother is coming so I must go. If this is to be our last letter then let me end it in a fashion. Yes my darling I will marry you, even if we can never be together, I will pledge my undying love. Goodbye my love, goodbye.
Forever your darling
