Hi Sweetheart,

     I’ve only got a few minutes. I love you. I’ll tell you what, I’ll just come out to the house when I get there. That will make it easier. I hope I’ll see you the 29th at 17023 Potter St.

     I tell you what you do. Send me those directions as to how to get there again. PRINT the names of the streets and all important things so there won’t be any mistakes. See you as soon as I can possibly can.

     Goodnight Sweetheart.
          I love you with all my heart.

I love you.
     See you soon, I hope.
