because I know you to possess a very courageous and exemplary character.

Why, I have chosen to be your nearest friend, is to save you from other

men, who might find you easy victim to their carnal desire. Rather that, I

should be your desire, because whatever happens, I can still stand

responsible for my action - and save you from utter ruin. It is not so

fine personality. For these good qualities in you which I believe can still

be saved for humanity, I am prepared to stand immediate disgrace in your

company. So, For Righteousness Sake, be true to me, and allow me to help you

to regain your strength in character and personality.

trip home;

But see that you take this step after you have gained your

entire divorce or your complete reconciliation to your husband. So far for

my sermon - (Don't say I am harsh.

I'm only trying to be fair and straight.)
