Dart writes that even though he loves Dot, he must get some sleep. Then he comments that it won’t be long until “we can pay the right amount of attention to each other and get our sleep; almost at the same time!”

He wonders why he turned the page over to the blank side, except to tell her again how much he loves her. He keeps thinking about last Sunday’s letter and how much he’d like to write another one like that, but he just can’t let himself do it. Here he is, getting all riled up and he didn’t mean to.

He says he misses her and all the things they’ve said and done. “And, if it’s possible to ‘miss’ something we haven’t done, I miss that, too. I want you so much I’m uncomfortable and dreadfully lonely.”

He’s so tired he’s decided to hang a “do-no-disturb” sign on his door and sleep through church.
