Writes to her friend using a new pen she is sure will make a difference. Expresses her loneliness without him and says she only lives when they are together and apologizes for inquiring about a possible marriage. She plainly explains that she would like to know where their relationship is going and that if he was more communicative, it would prevent much mental anguish.
