Summary
Telling her how unhappy he is that he lost her [through her marriage]: "No successor comes to occupy your place. You are as necessary to me as when I used to call for you every day"; asking her to tell him all about her baby boy; wondering when he can visit her; assuring her the visit will be "very short" because "one day is enough for pain."
