<<<Berlin>>>

I have something ridiculous to tell you... I'm in love with you! I thought I should cure myself in seeing you quite simply as a friend.. But I pay too dearly for the moments I pass with you... I know how you think of me, & I have nothing to hope for in telling you this. I can only foresee losing a friend & the only agreeable hours I have passed for a month. But I know that you're kind, that you have loved, & I put my trust in you, not as a mistress, but as a frank & loyal comrade.
