My Dearest, I love you ! I love you ! It does bear repeating, doesn’t it ? I have never grown tired of hearing it, and how I wish I could hear it from you tonight. I am trying awfully hard to be brave, Dearest. So don’t worry about me — just take care of yourself.
Richard Beard (1909-1997), in a letter to Reva Beard in: “From Calcutta with Love. The World War II Letters of Richard and Reva Beard”
