Only one a day, so that I have still something left to look forward to to-morrow: and oh, dearest, what _unanswerable_ things they have now become, those letters which I used to answer so easily! There is hardly a word but the light of to-day stands before it like a drawn sword, between the heart that then felt and wrote so, and mine as it now feels and waits.
