The last section of the first letter reads: "Good-bye. I cannot leave this paper, for it will fall in your hands. I wish that I could have the same happiness. Alas! that is a foolish wish, for I know that it is impossible. Good-bye; I cannot write any more. Good-bye. Love me always, and make me suffer still more sorrow."
