Long, amorous and erotic letter to his mistress Katia.
The letter is begun at 9:½ a.m.| it is continued several times during the day, and completed at 11:½ p.m..
"Good morning, my Angel, I love you, I love you, I love you and am happy to love you. I slept very well thanks to you and woke up under the good impression of our evening yesterday and in that moment I had the joy of swallowing your dear letter. Oh, thank you, thank you for all your kind words that flooded me with sunshine. I'm happy to see that I was able to give you some yesterday too. He pauses to get back to his work.
Later: "My thoughts now follow you to your toilet room, where I would have liked to replace your maid. I see in my imagination everything that belongs to me and that I adore"... Don't let her worry about Wittgenstein's nonsense...
Wittgenstein... "As for the good Louise, it pleases me that she told you that she did not doubt me and that I would never believe the evil that could have been said to me"... He looks forward to meeting Katia at the promenade...
Afternoon: "We must confess that our encounters have been very successful for us today, and I feel that we are crazier than ever about each other [...] I must confess too, dear adorable elf, that I'm raving about our bingerles [their erotic romps] and tomorrow, whatever the cost, we must meet again. Forgive me for being so unreasonable, but you only have yourself to blame, because it's only you who has made me so ? ????, as if I were only 20. Oh! my Angel, I love you passionately and can no longer live without you, and I want you to know that I am happy, happy, happy, to love you and to feel loved by the Angel that God has granted me for the happiness of my life. [...] If we could find ourselves in this moment together, we wouldn't have been able to resist and would have enjoyed each other like mad. Alas! we'll have to wait until tomorrow, but I can also imagine the rage with which we'll rush at each other"... Etc
