Tonight I can see you as you looked at the Powhatan - is that spelled correctly? You sat beside me the night we dined upstairs on the balcony, and I was very glad to have you do so because there I could turn my face away from you when my great love for you would almost choke me.

I can remember that I talked incessantly to relieve my embarrassment but I cannot remember one topic of conversation. The one thing I can remember most distinctly is the look on your face as you sat beside me, and it thrills
