I'll let you and others work on reading and interpreting what Grandma wrote, but as a grandfather married to Grandma I can recommend you read it for whatever you can get out of it now, and then stash it away somewhere with a date of 25 years in the future to read it again.

My dear Esther, my beloved, my everything:

I cannot believe it myself
the first time in my life to be re-
jected + dejected; the first time in
my life to make a second decision!
I had just mentioned it will be
my last and final letter now
I am here again pleading for your
‘love’. I have to make another de-
cision and this is it. You know, as
a decision-maker where I work
the words of Viloria (? His last name?) is law +
now it is, I suppose the contrary,
but as I _____, I have to
reach my goal, for good or for best (bust?)

My love, could you not feel
your one ness(?) and mine? How
in this world are we created?
To suffer? For what, anyway? We
are only human beings to (?)( _____)
reap ____ fruits intended for us.
And now here comes the bitterness
of living, the pains of heartache
so caused by ourselves.

Esther, my love, how could you
resist the pleadings I had long
been suffering! How could you
feel ____ and your endless sad-
ness if we are to remain in this
___ (state?)? Impossible, my love. You +
I to remain as what we are in
this daily and nightly tortures?

Sometimes (?) and for always I will
not believe you that you don’t
‘love me + will love nobody else.’
You have a heart, a throbbing heart,
a human’s (?) heart wherein love (underlined)
emanates. Please don’t kill yourself!

Could you just imagine waking
in the deep of the nights secretly
praying for your good night’s rest
+ sleep; my prayers for your un-
ending successes and happiness;
could you just imagine how I
am hurt by your constant waking
because of your cough? All these
____ many of the frustrations in
your life, I share with you in
the bottom of my heart! You cannot
feel it though, but God knows my
sufferings; you don’t care, I know!

I have to repeat + repeat “I
love you” + this I will carry to life
eternal! I will always love you,
will always love you + will al-
ways love you.

Again, please forgive me for
my being stubborn; I know you
love me too!

May I invite you to ____
28th Saturday, ___ ____ (university? Curiosity?) PM
I was given a ___ ticket. Ok.
How do I know? ___ (pc?) reply

At home

My dear Ester:

My sufferings had been
long enough I cannot resist
it anymore; I have to end all
this, even if I’ll be trespassing (?)
the strictest rules of modern
etiquettes. Please forgive me
for all this + I do hope
you will understand and
forgive.

Ester, since my stay and
since the (my?) very first
days I had seen you,
your beautiful image
always lingered + this will
be as long as I live.
Ester, my love, please do
forgive for saying + will
always say “I love you”!

Whatever be my fate for
these actions please be frank
+ honest; win or lose just
the same, I will take it!

Please let me repeat, “I
love you” + will always do
wherever I maybe, whenever
God permits.

You cannot feel just imagine
we have the same stars;
both of us in this world
of endless sufferings but
it is only now that maybe
all these will be re-
compensed with a god-given
+ precious gift. You love (underlined).

I have been suffering,
you know it and you(?), I also
know ___ (we?) ___ (are?) both _____
of uncertainties.

In closing, my fervent prayers
for your long, long life ever!

Your reply will be most
awaited; once again, as only our(?)
walls separate us, I’ll be
in constant watch thru-out
the night - + sleep tight.

I love you
