Berrybank Convalescent Hospital - Bournemouth, November 2010
Dear Rob,
Forgive me, oh please forgive me. The last thing I ever wanted to do was to add to your ordeal, but let me tell you straight away it has only been through illness that my letters to you stopped. I never wanted to hurt you or destroy any faith that you may have had in me, and I never ever want you to feel that anything that I have said in my letters has been in any way insincere or that I have said them just for effect to make you feel better.
I never truly believed that little, boring me, the orphan brought up on a farm in the middle of nowhere, could make any difference to someone in your position, but I was willing to give it a go as I thought it could be a good thing for you to feel as if you were also helping me,
