My Dear Precious Wife,

I don't know what I've done to deserve such a flood of divinely written letters. This happiness [...], is more than I'd ever hoped for. You excell [sic] yourself in a way that's haunting in its lovliness [sic]. Four arrived the day I sailed & I read them on my voyage up. How I wished you were on that boat! I'm sure the scenery would have inspired us to do great things. I disembarked last night & found to my delight your parcels awaiting me. Thanks ever so much. you deserve to be kissed - brutally [?]
