Dear Arthur,

I am so sorry. Can you ever find it in your heart to forgive me?

Please believe me when I say that I acted for the best and I still believe that good will come of my actions.

Your Friend,

Dearest Méret,

I hope this finds you. ‘Méret Voytek, Moscow’ is a curt address, but I have no other and I cannot believe your name is unknown to the Russian post office. Nor will I believe the British will censor me by refusing to send this.

Trust me. One day we shall be free. And blood is thicker than water.

Trust me.

Your Loving Cousin
