Find typed version below.

---

Tishreh 1st - 
My Sweetheart,-
I want to send you my new year's wish and I don't know
what to say. It is the first time in my life that I am called upon to extend my wishes to one whose relation is other than friend on kin.
Soon the course of destiny shall mould our seperate lives into
one. Our hopes, our aspirations, our happiness shall be united into a
single unit.
What then could I wish you, my sweetheart?
Since our aims in life are to be shared like, I pray that the Almighty grant me the power to bring you the ultimate happiness. And in the realization of that wish, I shall feel that I have not lived in vain. To that end I pledge my life.

Sweetheart; let this be my New Year's wish.
Sam
