Dear Sister,
I am determined to make amends for my conduct these past few weeks. I have placed you in an untenable situation, for which I am truly sorry. I hardly know myself.
Perhaps you do not think of this. In all likelihood, this is all of little importance to you. I do understand that if you think of me at all, you must wish to forget this strangeness that has grown up between us. I know that I have tried. But it will not seem to go away for me.
I despair that I may have added to your worries at this time. I hope with all my heart, that nothing, most especially my weakness, gets in the way of your recovery. Beyond anything, I wish for you to return to Poplar healthy and happy.
I promise that you will have no need to fear that I would put any demands upon you. You may safely return to your home upon your recovery and fear no attentions from me.
Regards,
P. Turner
