Transcription: You are the one real truelove in my life...beautiful and clean and "Greek." Even Daniel and Jonathan could not love "like the people of the [unintelligible]." [unintelligible] kept their love harshly "spiritual," ours was "not incomplete," as you once wrote me. It was full and joyous. Sophocles and Alexander, [unintelligible] and Whitman, knew this love.

I hope you have found happiness there where you are.
