A very corrected draft of a beautiful declaration of love.

"Jay kissed your adorable letter a thousand times. Everything that I read charms me.
I leave you the care of my happiness and I put it entirely in your hands. I don't want anything that doesn't come to me from you and that doesn't return to you and to increase yours I will try to acquire all the good qualities that will be able to give me your esteem. You will see me a continuous desire to please you and perhaps you will like it. I love you because I am destined I love you because I see all the beautiful qualities that I have ever wished in a person under whom I have to live. I would like you to feel the pleasure that I want to be with you and the pain that I want to be separated. How much I love to see and hear you. In order to judge this well, you should be able to say that you were not really yourself.
