Dear wife, pretty, warm, generous, real, noble, hot, friend, right, soft, smooth, delicate, mistress of my C., etc, etc - I've been smelling again your smells in the "jewelry" box in your closet and it made me crying homesick for you, this last week was a torture
It's Monday night now, I've been looking around the house to see if anything is forgotten, all packed, tomorrow the R. Express will pick up the luggage and dayafter in the morning I'll be on ship. Next Monday about noon or later I'll be in cherbourg and a few hours later in you. 
I'm very jumpy, I want to go at the pier to see the ship arriving, to make sure again that it really sails. It feels very good, very happy, to think that I'll see you in a few days. Now it's 5 minutes past midnight, that makes Tuesday already and it means that I sail Tomorrow and I'll see you in 6 days.
