My dearest Adelaide, I am so very sorry for what I have done just to that I may see you again. As I write, I sit under a canopy of leaves, in a shelter that I made myself! Oh, I wish for you to be proud of me. Alas, you never shall again once you hear what I have done. 

Mister Valencia keeps all the money I earn him in a folded piece of paper  in his bedroom, under the mattress. I found this out when he instructed me- No, wait, when he commanded me to tidy up his bedroom for when the Mrs came home. I swear, I never thought that I would ever do such a thing as steal, but I just had to see you Adelaide! If only I could find my way to Boston, where I could sail back to you. Maybe buy a little food, I'm starving out here! There isn't a single town around, and to be honest, I'm not even sure where I am anymore! Oh, Adelaide. I do hope that I reach you eventually, I may just die out here first. Oh, what a pity that would be, never getting to see your beautiful face again. . .
