 1t follows;
 Tt is now 10:S0 and am still crying after talking and reading your letter again. 1 am very, very blue and I know you are; if you were only here and could hold my poor aching head I could be so happy. But, miserable, my God,'
 T am too miserable to live because I have to stay here and my whole life and soul and every thought is with you and when you think I don't read your letters over and over again and de- your each of them you are badly mis- taken. I couldn't and wouldn't live without getting them and hearing from you. Don't think for one single mo ment that I have given you up or will ever let up on the divorce business. I will get it yet, and I won't let her have any peace until I do.
 TO FORCE DIVORCE
 ''The sooner I can get someone
 in with me and get some money
 and get out of here and go some
 place and get started, the happier

 you right with me until I get the
 divorce and thaf will make her
 hurry about giving 1t. and yet she
 can't do anything to you or me,
 but as long as I stay here you
 can't cOnle and be safe. But will
 swear that if I keep feeling like
 this, l will have to see you Sunday
 or will go crazy, and the thought
 of yOur telephone bill there and
 mine here and next months ex-
 penses is worrying me to death and
 can't sleep at night now, for
 thinking about 1t, and I wish right '. now | was dead.
 "If had you for a few moments and then had to leave you again I think would kill us both and end it all. love you so dearly that I don't want to live without you and I don't want to die and leave you Now, that's the trouble. Good night, and say God help us both. Please be true to me and don't. do anything you wouldn't have me do and then I know you will love me every minute and wait and help me and we will have each other yet. All my true love until death your own.'
