Dear Heaven,                                                                                Feb 13, 1941

I will say I'm not surprised to see Dylan drafted, it was inevitable that he would. But it does hurt my heart to see you cry, it's like your tears attempt to put the gold fire in my heart out, but they only make it stronger out of want to protect you. I will always care for you even if he's gone, so you really mustn't cry. I will give you love and attention, food and shelter, I will care for you and keep you warm and safe. I could be twice the man Dylan is, and I honestly would have fought myself if I were allowed, and I would have snuck in, disguised as a boy had I not needed to keep you safe. you shall never perish in my protection.

I hope you never die,

Luci
