I will not say that your letter was a complete surprise to me. It is seldom a woman is so unsophisticated in the ways of men that she is not aware when friendship passes the borderline and trespasses on the domain of passion. I realized on the last two occasions we met that you were not quite normal. The first was at Mrs.
