Under separate cover 1 am sending you a more detailed statement of my love for , you. This will give you the over-I over-I all picture of a more secure setup as man and wife, should the propo-jSition propo-jSition under discussion be carried I to a successful conclusion, j Your complaint that you fear ceilings ceil-ings have been imposed on my af-' af-' fections for you have been given I careful consideration and will be I processed further, and while a more ! complete report will be made to you later, it is my conclusion that your deductions are basically in error.
