Diamond describes the contents of a package that his parents have sent him. He recalls the day that he proposed to Estelle, and comments that nearly a year has passed since that date, May 18th. He then discusses how important Estelle is to him in his present position: "When I returned from the front with the nauseating stench of the dead lingering on my cloths it was the memory of the past, which is you, that made me throw off the melancholy."
