1 November 1917 Stuart to Edith - Letter #15

Stuart to Edith
Nov. 1 1917
My Belovéd,
I fear I cannot write very much this morning as time is very short. I must, however, thank you for all that you said in Tuesday’s note; I feel fairly certain that what you advise is best and will do what I can to follow along those lines.
I am very glad the suggestion of “deep” talks was pleasing to you. We will get on to them shortly, only when I am with you I m not always in the mood. I just feel happy, too happy to talk very much and what I do say is generally very light, is it not? We shall, however, get over that I expect and one of these days I will set “the ball rolling”.
There are so many subjects on which I should like advice that I fear I may overwhelm you when I do start, but if I do, you have only to say and if you can offer little in the shape of advice, I know that I have always your love and sympathy to help me.
I could not help thinking after I had got home last night, of that time to which we refer sometimes, when we shall be together; it seemed to me too good to realize, such happiness as I imagine it seems almost too great, it overwhelms me, and I went to sleep thinking of it.
The thoughts, however, cheer me on, I work now with a definite end in view and I think I am more cheerful than formerly.
I must leave off. This is not so nice as it might be, I expect because it is hurried, but you know I am always thinking of you and loving you.
Goodbye, my Best Belovéd, Goodbye, may you be happy and joyful, may we always be a help and comfort to one another.
Once more, Goodbye, my Love, Goodbye.
