 My Dear Roberta-After thinking the matter over thoroughly, came to the conclusion that, having nothing but your welfare and future happiness in mind, to show you really for the first time how honest my love for you is, by ad- vising you not to make the stop which you may later regret and which win dis avA a1yA the future
 You know that love you as I never loved a woman before-furthermore, you know in your own heart that toward you I am on the level and am willing to sacrifice my future happiness only in order to do the right and square thing by you.
 Think matters over and weigh every thing conservatively and you will find out that my motives toward you are as pure and honorable as only man can be toward the girl he really and devoted ly loves. To take you away from here just to gratify a whim, regardless of the disastrous consequences to yourself. would show me up only as a coward, and not worthy of having the love of such an angel as yourself
 If you can see my noble motives in the right light you will appreciate me that much more and only can respect me even if you can never learn to love me-" '
