Respected Friend,

It is a comfort to know that I am not alone in this overwhelming feeling of hollowness.

From the moment you were out of sight as the train chugged onward unapologetically, I felt it creep in. Only your letters can stave away the demons haunting my sleep now, although I could not tell you why that is the case.

Mayhap you know of what I speak, and explaining further would only prove pointless. I should elect to believe that.

But enough wallowing, I should not like to bore you into never writing again. Let us discuss something more cheerful.

Cordially,
James
