The letter:

Once more let me tell you how very happy I was to have seen you again, dear, after 5 long years of separation. It is a joy to see a dear friend so unchanged again, and to feel as though we had never been separated at all, these years. But that is real friendship that remains the same through time and space may sever one. A warm heart is a treat, and I always deeply, gratefully, value it.
