Letter to her brother

One minute I was the happiest man on earth, the next the most unhappy one. I loved your sister very much, and (in a way) I still do. Her withdrawal has left me in a complete shock. The way she fell back on her old dependencies has frightened me. I know I was not perfect, and I regret I could only offer her a modest life, in a place that she had difficulties to adapt to. I blame myself for all the shortcomings I have. But it has been truly disappointing that we could not solve our problems in a more mature way. I drove her back to Paris, and that seems to be the end of it. Despite everything, it was a pleasure to meet you, and I am sorry to have known you for only such a short period of time. As a favor, I would like to ask you to send me the pictures you took of the marriage. It gives me a chance to keep you all alive in my memory.
