August, 2, 1920

 Gwen,
I wish you and your family well too. America is nice, I am extending my stay until next year, maybe I will come back in March… that is the next ship. I know that it will be very hard for you, but I will enjoy it and I shall want to continue living in a place where nothing ties me down. I wish you would be less controlling of me, I know we had a spring love. That is over now. I must confess my love for another… a beautiful one. I shall ask you to tell my Mama the news. Please send me my ring back, I need it for Sarah, my new and only love now. I hope you are not so delicate about this, I know you will be though. I really wish I had come to America earlier. It is wonderful. I hope you continue to live, I think it shall be a struggle. For you. I am okay with it and I am going to tell you to not worry about me.
All the best,
Harold
