January 2 1892
Alfred,
I wish this wasn't a letter.
I didn't tell you that I saw Jo because
Time passes slowly when you're not here. I don't know if it's because O doesn't sleep through the night or because I quit or if this is just what happens every winter, but time passes slowly and I wish you were home.
I didn't tell you that I saw Jo because I didn't want to see the look on your face when I brought it up. I didn't want to see what happened when I told you that she has a daughter. I don't think it was jealousy anymore, but — I just didn't want things to be difficult anymore. I wish you had brought this up earlier.
If that's what you want you can be her friend again. But we have to talk about this when you get back, because when I asked if you were in love you said you didn't know — and because I'm your wife and the mother of your son and it's hard to read that you miss another woman all the time.
Come home soon.
