A Romantic Love Letter written by Margaret Lawrence to Benedict Greene

It is believed that this romantic love letter was written September 15th, 1942

I think that never in a thousand letters could I ever begin to tell you what it means to me to be able to come home to you. I never realized how starved I was for this deep wonderful sweetness, a small place where my love lives which he gives to me as my own, and tells me is mine. It's a symbol of the sweetness and the peace I know with you.

It's made up of all our hours together - the hours of the days and nights we have had together. It means music to me and the blessing of good food, preparing it for you and me to eat together. It means the talking one can only do with one's dearest, closest, oldest friend and the silences one falls into only with this friend. It means all the happy things done together, and work that suddenly becomes play because it has been shared with a friend and a lover.
