Dear Jane, March 19,1754
How are you doing? It’s been so long since I have seen your face. How is France? You and your family are the thing I miss the most in the world
I’m so sorry for the extremely short letter today. Oh, I wish you were her.
Yours,
John
Dear Jane, April 17,1754
It’s real lonely out here. The food is tasteless and the water is dirty at best. I couldn’t tell you where we are right now. Sorry about that. Someone told me they have a way of getting these letters to you. I trust him. I do. I hope you’ve gotten y letters. I believe I’ve sent about thirteen by now? Since February? Have you received them? If so, my dear Jane, please reply. Your voice is becoming hazy in my memory and that is so much more scary to me than anything in the world. If I can only hear your voice, even on the pages, that would mean the world to me.
Yours,
John
Dear Jane, June 23, 1754
Please respond. I am worried out of my mind. I can’t think. I need a response from you, Jane. More than I could ever tell you. Have you noticed the deterioration in my handwriting? It’s you. I can’t bear to see my writing with no rely from you. My handwriting is the most ugly thing in the world. Yours would be the most beautiful.
Please, Jane.
Yours,
John
Dear Jane, July 31, 1754
Please I can’t do this anymore. All I need is to see your words on the page. See your writing.
I need you Jane.
Please.
I await your response.
Yours. Always.
John
To my dearest John, April 26, 1762

Yours, always and forever,
