Dear Daddy,
I've been waiting for your letter but it hasn't come yet so I thought that I'd try writing to you again. Daddy, why aren't you writing to me? I know that I've done some things that I wasn't, that you weren't proud of but everybody has, even you.
I was going to wait until I got a letter back from you before I asked Jerry if he wanted to visit you in LA for a little holiday but I just couldn't wait. I asked him but he just looked at me funny and he said: "Honey if you want to go to LA, I'll take you." I'm so excited, we'll come sometime this summer, I hope. Jerry says that he's not sure because of his new job. Did I tell you about it? I think I did.
Daddy you'd be so proud of Jerry. He's making more money than even Devlin was. And you and I both know that Devlin was a pretty important guy in the CIA. Do you remember those days? I remember them like they were yesterday. They day that you told me that my mother was a Russian spy. That hurt me so much but for the first time ever I saw what it must have been like for you, the pain that she must have put you through. I probably shouldn't put things like this in letters just incase someone reads them and finds us. We all know what happened when I told Danny. I decided not to tell Jerry about my past. It will save him.
David turned five the other day. He's getting so big, in fact he looks a bit like you. He's so smart and he tries really hard at school. I'm so proud of him and I know that you would be too if you could see him. Maybe you will, when we come to see you. He's really looking forward to meeting you and I really want you to meet him, I think that it would be good for the both of you.
Are you still seeing that psychiatrist I put you in touch with before I left? I hope so. Dad you need to talk to someone. I spoke to Dr. Barnett one when I was working at the CIA base in LA and she said that the only thing that she could tell me was that you were improving a lot. You don't know how happy I was when I heard that.
I've been seeing someone too. Dr. Lane. He's a top of the art psychiatrist in Washington. It was Jerry's idea, he thought I was going mad or something. I guess I had a hard time adapting to not being in LA with you and Will and Francie. Have you had the chance to speak to Francie lately? I lost contact with her and wouldn't know where to start in contacting her and I know that Will was killed in New York. I was so upset that I cried for like a week, that about the time I started seeing Dr. Lane. I didn't want Will recruited, he knew that but he said that there was no other choice, I'll never forgive him.
Next Tuesday is mother's day at David's school and I get to go. I can't wait. Jerry can't go but because of his new job, he's flying up to North Carolina to do a report on some diamond thing. I don't know a lot about Jerry's job, truthfully, it doesn't really interest me. Some great wife I am. He knows that I love him.
Daddy, I have to go now. If you know or find out where Francie is living, will you please let me know? I miss her very much and wish that I could see her again. Thanks heaps. I love you Daddy.
Lots of Love
Sydney
