Dear Jane,

My concern is only of your security and happiness, though I am a man who is anxious that was not your fault.

That was due to the mad raven, not you.

Please forgive my question of our string. It was only due to my intense desire to not lose you.

I only desire your peace of mind. I only need to know you are happy and safe and secure.

Nothing else matters. I hope you feel this, as I am trying to cope with my depression and pain.

Your agony and pain is most important.

I truly love you. My words are not born out of wanton fancies, or ignorance in selfishness, no.

I name our connection of deep friendship, I name it so.

Yours,

Edward
