That is our destiny. I know it is. I saw us in a dream, raising kids. You were happy as my wife, and I was proud as your husband. Dreams do not lie, and neither do I.
I am leaving to make my fortune. When I return as a rich man, you will see what a fine husband I make you, and a father to our children. I will not grow up, though. You are wrong on that point. I have many things to tell you. I will write the rest of this letter later, but believe me: we are meant for a long, happy life together. Even your father will accept me and believe it, no matter how humble my birth.
