When I got a lieutenant assigned last week as my assistant I saw visions of gradually shifting the burden to him preparatory to folding my tent and silently stealing away, But he has gone down ill, making it necessary for me to hold up my plan until he recovers or get someone to replace him. 
This is my last sheet of stationery - worse luck - so I'll have to hurry to say that I'm very, very, very, very much in love with you, sweetheart, and very devotedly
