 I hope my letter didn't frighten you. Ah, it well if it did. It brought me quickly to you. Oh, I haven't seen you for so long. Let me look at you. Sit here with me by the fire. Oh, oh, Patty, to be home at last with you at Monticello. You know, so many times I've sworn that after the next job I'd come home, but always there was something else that had to be done first. Oh, darling, they haven't let you alone, have they? There's so much to do, Patty.
