My Closest Friend Constant,

Greetings and a happy day to you, Constant. I hope you remain in as good of health as I, and am apologizing for your busy. I havenot settled down with family yet, and feel that it is much to early for settling down with a family. I understand your not wanting to marry.  I appreciate your concern regarding me, but do think of yourself more too! Who would I be if you were leave me behind? Who I would talk to? I acknowledge that the choices I make are sometimes not good, but you are also make wrong choices sometimes! But please, if you are able to free up a day to see me, do. If not, I do understand.

Yrs truly,
Etienne Jay
