Dear Miss Willmott,

Now a quarter of a year has gone since we parted but in all this time my thoughts have been much with you – and now that such a long time has past [sic] and I have spent it to think about the matter I am going to write of, you may believe that it is not a feeling which came suddenly and will pass the next day, but a passion that has grown strong and deep within me.

I must tell you that I love you and I must ask you the question whether you too will love me and whether you will give me your hand.

Don t be angry for that and don t believe me silly, but I cannot help it. I know that I only am a poor lieutenant who cannot offer anything to you except himself, I know that you are a lady in a life high and rich with interests and spirit, but my love is strong and I know we should be happy together.

Dear Miss Willmott, when I left you I tried to suppress my feelings and drown them in my duties, for I thought it was impossible to ask you this question, but my love grew stronger from day to day and it did not give me any rest. I know it is you I love and only you. Do forgive me if I trouble you with this letter but I could not but write you this and ask you this question.

I told you the other day that I could not come to London in January – but I think I can, if you tell me to come.

Please give me an answer, dear Miss Willmott.

Yours, very truly

Joh. Bernh. Mann.
