Summary
Saying he was deeply affected by one of her letters because it was so dark; telling her he cannot help her since he does not know the people who cause her suffering; mentioning he has his own problems and that what he needs out of a relationship is an escape; regretting they have been wrong about one another; saying he will come visit her tomorrow to talk about this issue; fearing he cannot make her happy; hoping she becomes more reasonable; noting that ultimately they are both crazy.
