Still, no word from my beloved. He has been gone a long time. I cannot bear it. I wish he would send a letter or any indication that he is well. I wish to know why he left so swiftly. It must be duty? Surely? Perhaps the Lady will know? I should send a letter.
Nemben misses his father terribly, I can sense it. I attempt to continue on to the best of my abilities, but without my husband's support... it is so difficult.
