Dear Anne, since we are parting ways, perhaps forever, I feel I must unburden my heart. You are the fond object of my affection and desire. You, and you alone, are the keeper of the key to my heart. Please, do not be alarmed - I don't expect your favor... but I can't in good conscience, not reveal myself. I'm not engaged, nor will I be - unless it's to you, Anne, my Anne with an E. It always has been, and always will be you. Love Gilbert.
