Stuart to Edith
Nov. 15 1917
Best Belovéd,
I have been turning over in my mind the story I told last evening and as I thought about it, it seemed to me it must have been very painful to you to hear such a story of shame and disgrace; I would that it were not true and that, for your sake, the past were unstained and unspotted, but painful though it was, my Dearest, I think it was right that you should know; and as I said last night, I wonder whether you ought to have known earlier, or at least whether I ought perhaps to have told your parents. I don’t think it would have made any difference, with you I know it would not, but it would with some people.
As to Saturday, I shall not be a little bit disappointed if we cannot go to Witney. I know you would not put it off if it could be helped, and if the cause is what I think it is, you are right in doing nothing which might be harmful to you; you know, don’t you, Belovéd, that that would hurt me too.
Time is gone, but I hope you were not very disturbed; it is after all the past, and it is all over; let us look forward to what the future holds in store, we have a long way to go yet, I hope and may all that way be happy for us.
Now, Goodbye, Belovéd, do not be hurt, for I love you, I love you, I LOVE YOU.
