Conger Reynolds correspondence, April-December 1919

1919-04-04 Daphne Reynolds to Conger Reynolds Page 2

was in Washington.  I wonder.  Honey, do get me over this silly fear right quick.  Promise me that when I come to you, you will make me want you madly, as I do now.  You can, so easily!  Don't let it be as it was before, dearest, when I wanted you but was so upset by the suddenness of it all that I was simply frightened out of what little wits I had left.  You understand me - I know you do, and you know what I mean.  You have known since the first time I kissed you, the intensity of my love.  Do help me to feel, when I am with you, that that is the love you want.  The more I observe other people, the more I am appalled by the nature of my love for you.  I can tell you about it quite freely tonight, but when I am with you I try to hide it under a mask of calm absolute independence.  That's a lie, Conger.  I'm not calm.  I'm not independent one bit where you are concerned.  Your love
