not even the mythical Marie. And if I should find the m. M. there I should take a flying leap from the window because, after all, I'm a particular person; I never did find anyone feminine in my bed 'cept my wife, and even a mythical substitute for her would terrify me. Honey, are you dreadfully shocked? But if I can't have your head on my shoulder I can dream of you. Dreams are good to me sometimes because they bring you to me so realistically that for hours it seems that we are really together. You are everything to me, darling. You are the only girl I love or even fancy for a moment. That is nothing for a husband to say, of course. I shouldn't be decent if i thought any less of you. But you know I go far beyond duty. I love you honestly and with all the passion and devotion in my heart. All yours, Conger
