To answer that, dearest, is not in
His hands but in yours. And the form of your message tells me it will not
be,--not for this body and spirit that have been bound together so long in
truth to you.
I set down for you here--if you should ever, for love's sake, send
and make claim for any message back from me--a profoundly grateful
remembrance; and so much more, so much more that has never failed.
Most dear, most beloved, you were to me and are. Now I can no longer
hold together: but it is my body, not my love that has failed.
