The light seen in front, on a long way is hope, and the light seen in hot Summer warmth, my friend, you are that light on the way of life, which gives me peace and hope. You devoted heartfelt gratitude and would I, if I could, supplant one of the affections that I know to have taken in you, that great and solemn one, for instance. I feel that is I could get myself remade, as if turned to gold I would not even desire to become more than the grand setting to that diamond you must always wear. The regard and esteem you give me, in the letter, and which I press to my heart and bow my head upon, is all I can take and all too embarrassing, using all my gratitude. I cannot exist without you, I am forgetful of everything, but seeing you again, my life seems to stop there, I see no further. You have absorbed me. I beseech you now with all my heart definitely to let me know your whole mind as to the love between us; for necessity compels me to write you for a reply, having been for more than a year now struck by the dart of love, and being uncertain either of failure or of finding a place in your heart and affection, which point has certainly kept me for some time from naming you my love with an ordinary love the name is not appropriate to you seeing that it stands for an uncommon position very remote from the ordinary; but if it pleases you to  do the duty of a true, loyal love and friend, and to give yourself body and heart to me, who have been, and will be, your very loyal servant (if your rigor does not forbid me), I promise you that not only the name will be due to you, but also to tale you as my sole love, casting off all others than yourself out of mind and affection, and to serve you only; begging you to male me a complete reply to this my rude letter as to how for and in what I can trust; and if it does not please you to reply in writing to let me know of some place where I can have it by word of mouth, the which place I will seek out with all my heart. No more for fear of worrying you. Written by the hand of him who would willingly remain yours, I can neither sever my affection for you nor forget the dreams of love. I will remember forever your beautiful looks even when I travel to the Heavens and ends of the World.
