My dear Wife,
When will you write
to me, I suppose when you
have Evidences that I am
doing, right. Give me
by a letter my deareest wife
Some Encouragement -
I am Sorry for the
past make the future promising
by gradually learning to
forgive me, give me the
conditions on which I may
once again Enjoy your love
I have forfeted it but
you have punished me
Enough now write & I will
act, try me, I do not yet
