am told is the American standard of life. . . . Anyway let’s save us both some face and start life anew in our separate way. I can’t go on the same old way and still retain respect for either of us. It has been a wonderful ten years, and if I had a choice, I won’t change any little bit of it. It has been wonderful knowing you and I hope we will continue to be friends after a while. Right now, I hope you will keep away from me and stop writing. (Did I ever tell you you write the most wonderful drunken letters?) So long.
