Darling Cora

I know that Joe has chatted to you

Be assured that I am getting better

We are in Genoa at present

Milan tomorrow

I drowned in my own happiness

Which was rather odd

I write the following each evening in my diary

And give it Joe to lock away

A feeling of nothingness often overwhelms me
I am a girl of no importance or worth

Yesterday was the first day that I did not use my diary


I am mending and am looking forward to seeing you

You are my Dark Lady of the Sonnets
