Dear Constant Matthews,
O, Dearest Matthews! I fear youd never speak of me again, that you have left me for dead! I will make it a duty of me to make sure we will meet up, sometime. That being said I found suitible job as a baker. It has provided enough dollars for a home for me. Now that I have been settled in, America seems more like home than it did before. The learning of the language has been hard to do for me. I am doing my best. I am apologizing. I also apologize for that unfortunate situation that being your marriage. I am sure you can find the right one, mon meilleur ami*! I believe you can, Constant!
Sncerly, Etienne
P.S. As always, I am remaining in good health. Do not worry, mon ami*!
*mon meilleur ami refers to your best friend, and mon ami is another term that refers to your friend in French
