Dear, As one ages, the ability to sleep is more of a priveledge rather than a natural occurrance. And, this priveledge was not allotted yesterday evening. Perhaps it is a result of various matters praying upon my mind (i.e., moving the office, frustration in misplacing items, and so on), of which the most important matter happens to be not having the ability to return phone calls - very unlike me and most unprofessional. It is for this purpose that I am writing this brief note. To be awake the entire night, is extremely unhealthy, however, it will not be the first that I suffer from insomnia (the usual characters in my dream are missed - yes we have the same advertisement on the tele as you have in the states). The insomnia is most definitely attributed to the frustration deeply felt in being separated from my loved one. I do believe we have greater difficulty in dealing with mundane routines when separated from those we love so very much and have for so very long. Oh but I do so long to be united with my fiance, the nights are so long and lonesome. Yes, since last we spoke I have requested her hand in marriage. Her name is Rinalda and the term soulmate is a most fitting ter. There is no need to verbally express my needs for she is aware, in all probability even before I am aware. As you know, I am not one to freely state my wishes or desires, therefore, it is truly welcome that someone knows them and fulfills not only what I desire but even more...I feel very fortunate to have been given the opportunity to meet someone so very special. I long for her every second that we are apart and now that I have been transferred to London and she remains in Devonshire the nights are dreadfully long and the days, well suffice it to say even the sun-filled days do not bring much cheer. But for the time it is necessary that we are separated, I am counting the days, hours, minutes until we are together. I am aware that I sound like a foolish school boy. As you and I both know I am very much removed from my youthful years. Perhaps that is one more reason for so wanting to be near my beloved... in the autumn of my life, the harboured, amorous emotions for her, years of longing for my true love appear to be so near that I can hardly contain myself to wait. It stands to reason that some who have been as fortunate as to have found their true love, expressed it so eloquently onto paper. And, has become mandated reading for our future scholars. After all it is the 'razon d'etre (sic).' All is right with the world when such a love is reciprocated. Unfortunately, we continue to be separated by several kilometers and so seeing one another is at present far and few times. Well as it probably has been made painfully clear, my head is in the clouds and am barely dealing with the humdrum of daily chores. In any event, please do give us a ring wont you - we would love to hear from you. I hope that all is well with you and yours and hope to hear from you in the very near future. Sincerely yours, Don
