27 June, 1888
February,I trust your judgment, though it's now obvious that I cannot trust that you will try and understand my motives without jumping to conclusions.
My intention was not to cause offense; I only meant to express my concern for your safety, but it is obvious that did not translate through writing.
I hope you'll accept my apology in time, but until then, I hope you find happiness with your next lover.
Sincerely,
E.
