Dear Anne,
Since we are parting ways, perhaps forever, I feel I must unburden my heart. You are the fond object of my affection and my desire. You, and you alone, are the keeper of the key to my heart. Please, don’t be alarmed. I don’t expect your favor, but I can’t, in good conscience, not reveal myself. I’m not engaged, nor will I be, unless… it’s to you, Anne. My Anne with an E. It always has been and always will be you.
With love, Gilbert.
