My very dear Sarah,
Indications are very strong that we shall move in a few days, perhaps tomorrow.
Lest I should not be able to write you again, I feel impelled to write a few lines that may fall under your eye when I shall be no more.
I have no misgivings about or lack of confidence in the cause in which I am engaged, and my courage does not halt or falter.
I know how strongly American civilization now leans on the triumph of the government, and how great a debt we owe to those who went before us through the blood and suffering of the Revolution. And I am willing — perfectly willing — to lay down all my joys in this life to help maintain this government and to pay that debt.
Sarah, my love for you is deathless. It seems to bind me with mighty cables that nothing but Omnipotence could break. And yet my love of country comes over me like a strong wind and bears me irresistibly, with all these chains, to the battlefield. The memory of all the blissful moments I have enjoyed with you come crowding over me, and I feel most deeply grateful to God and you that I have enjoyed them so long. And how hard it is for me to give them up and burn to ashes the hopes of future years when, God willing, we might still have lived and loved together and seen our sons grow up to honorable manhood around us…
If I do not return, my dear Sarah, never forget how much I love you, nor that when my last breath escapes me on the battlefield, it will whisper your name. Forgive my many faults and the many pains I have caused you.
How thoughtless, how foolish I have sometimes been. But, oh Sarah! If the dead can come back to this earth and flit unseen around those they love, I shall always be with you in the brightest days and in the darkest nights. Always. Always.
And when the soft breeze fans your cheeks, it shall be my breath; and as the cool air fans your throbbing temple, it shall be my spirit passing by.
Sarah, do not mourn me dead: Think I am gone and wait for me, for me shall meet again.
华盛顿特区
我最亲爱的莎拉：
任务十分紧迫，部队将在数天内开拔，也许就在明天。
我觉得有必要写给你几句话，以免今后再没机会给你写信。这样，在我离去的时候，信就会出现在你眼前。
对于我所投身的事业，我没有丝毫的担忧和害怕，我的勇气也丝毫没有减弱和退缩。
我明白美国文明现在就完全寄托在政府的胜利上;而比起我们之前为革命抛头颅、洒热血的先烈们，我们所欠太多。我希望——衷心希望——以今生我抛却的所有欢娱，来维护政府和偿还债务。
莎拉，我对你的爱永无止尽。似乎是有一种结实的锁链将我牢牢系住，只有全能的主才能摧毁它。但对祖国的热爱似一阵强风，将我和所有这些铁链一起吹向战场。和你一起度过的所有欢乐时光的记忆如潮水般涌上心头，我为拥有许多那样的日子而感激上帝，感激你，要让我忘掉这些记忆、让我抛却未来的希望是多么难——如果上帝保佑，我们将来能够恩爱地生活在一起，看着咱们的儿子在身边长大成人……
如果我没有回来，我亲爱的莎拉，不要忘记我有多爱你;战场上我即使还剩最后一口气，也会低唤你的名字。原谅我的许多过错和我给你造成的许多伤害。
有时候我是多么的愚蠢和没头脑呀。但是，呵，莎拉!如果故去的人能够重回这个星球，并无声无息、无影无踪地飞绕于他们所爱的人周围。我将在最晴朗的白天和最暗淡的黑夜时时刻刻守候在你的身旁。时时刻刻，直到永远。
当轻柔的风儿拂过你的脸颊，那将是我的呼吸;当凉爽的风儿撩过你的鬓角，那将是我路过的灵魂。
莎拉，不要为我的死而悲哀：只要想着我走了。等着我，因为我们还会再相见。

Dear Andy,
Now, I know we have not gotten to really know each other all that long and there is a little bit of an age difference between us, but I do really like you. You are a very special guy. There is so much about you I see that I know most girls don't see. They are all looking at you for your body. But Honey, I am telling you, that is not what I am doing. There is so much more to you than that. I have liked you for a very long time now but just never had the guts to say it to you. Well, that has all changed now. I am going all out and I am going to say it all. I really care a lot about you, and I would like to be a lot more then just friends. You mean so much to me. I mean, just seeing your cute little smile when I am having a bad day just makes the day seem not too dim. Or just to have you give me a hug makes me all warm and tingly inside. Just to see your smiling face brightens my darkest day. So, Hon, what do you say, would you like to give it a go?
Love Always,
Whinny
To：安迪：特里西娅
亲爱的安迪，
现在，我知道我们还没有真正了解对方，长期的，有我们的年龄相差一点点，但我真的很喜欢你。你是一个很特别的家伙。有这么多的了解你，我知道，我知道大多数女孩没有看到。他们都在看着你，你的身体。但是，亲爱的，我告诉你，那不是我在做什么。有这么多，你比。我也很喜欢你很长一段时间，但现在只是从来没有胆量说给你。好了，现在一切都改变了。我全力以赴，我会说这一切。我真的很在乎了很多关于你，我想了很多只是朋友。你的意思是我这么多。我的意思是，只看到你可爱的笑容时，我有一个糟糕的一天，只是让这一天似乎不是太暗。或者只是你给我一个拥抱，让我所有的热情和刺痛感里面。刚看到你的笑脸，照亮了我最黑暗的一天。因此，汉，你说什么，你想给它一个去?
永远爱你，
萧萧
Dear margarita,
I am just lying here, looking at your pictures, wishing for the day you and I meet, hoping and praying to god that our lord brings us together expediently.
I sit here pondering what life will be with you beside me. sharing our thoughts and ideas towards what the future holds. you and I are hundreds of miles apart. yet I feel as if you are here right beside me watching me as I write this letter. Your passion spans distances unforeseen by the naked eye, reaching me in ways I never thought possible. your spirit soars above me, watching over me like a protective angel. your heart beats in unison with mine growing stronger and with fuller life with each passing moment.
Margarita, I know I have made the right choice in proclaiming my love for you. I have no fears and no regrets and I live for the day we are together for the first time. I owe you an apology also for questioning you. I promise you,I will not question your intentions any more. You have proven to me your love for me is stronger and greater than distances never reached.
margarita, i love you. i am in love with you; i open my heart to you. i ask that you take my heart and treat it as if it is your own.
all my love,
victor
I haven't heard from you.
If you have, for a new environment? Whether have adapted without my love? Whether to have forgotten the past pain? Still troubles endured and face always smile?
Know you are very tired, very helpless, very helpless.
From the heart, pity you, love you. For your situation. Once love, comfort you, try hard to improve the situation.". But every time I see your eyes, is powerless, hear your heart sighs. I seem to understand, you give up! I know, you do not want to improve, not you don't go, not that you don't want to have a normal people are enjoying a life of dignity. You can also expect like plastic such as the knee, you also hope to each other, you desire to be cared for, be loved, respected by others. In the lives of others in the most unusual for the most common situation, you become elusive! Dear, my heart really good pain, pain to the bone. The pain of your life, your pain tolerance is excessive, more pain you wronged alone and nobody knows no vent bitterness! I can't imagine, for so many years is how you spend it? I believe you are magnanimous, tolerant, and the people, also has the limit, your heart full of grievances, full of melancholy, where there is a load of happiness and joy of void?
My dear, let me say there, don't you feel about themselves too harsh? So appoint wronged flexor stammer so sad, depressed over a lifetime? Is everything around you, than the happiness of his life is important? Did that really loved. Love your little woman, not you dazzling aura? We pledge our love our love our hand, we have those good, destined to disappear in smoke? We are also likely to become the most familiar stranger? I dread to think!
Dear, I hope you happy, happy, live your day. It is also my most sincere congratulations! After the road, at the foot of their own, select their own direction, and find its own way, on their own, to others, to life, the greatest respect!
Your better tomorrow!
Dear Dinesh,
It has not been but a short time of getting to know one another and we are totally crazy about the other. I asked you if you believed in soul mates and you said that you believed that God does make a special someone from every man. Whether that man finds that someone he was created for or not, I know I was created for you.
Here I am, heart and soul, confessing to the world how I feel about you. I would walk to the ends of the earth to meet you, and yet the funny thing is, looks as if I will have to do that since we haven't yet met. Funny how love works in people's lives. I sure never expected to neither meet nor find someone as amazing as you. You have touched my heart in so many ways and words couldn't even begin to explain to you the love I feel for you. Without further making it harder on the two of us to be together, I need to tell you that I love you and I am here waiting and when the time is right, will accept you as my husband and spend forever and eternity in your arms. Dreaming of you always ... I love you.
Love always,
Nikole
I will not beat you, not scold you, but torture you with all my love.
不打你，不骂你，专用感情折磨你!
If you want a cute baby, and you are still worried about this, then I willadvice that you marry me!
假如你想要一个可爱的baby，假如你还为这事犹豫，那我给你提很好的建议——嫁给我吧!
My family name is “I”, first name is “love you”, and surname is “miss you”; mycognomen is ”understand you”, appellation is ”feel badly about you”, epithet is“think of you” , book name is “dream of you”, nickname is “chase you”. You cancall me I kiss you.
本人姓我!名爱你!字想你!大名叫懂你!芳名叫疼你!乳名叫念你!书名叫梦你!外号叫追你!你可以叫我吻你。

Dear Adam,
Tonight I write of love to you. I know that in our course of 5 years we have been up and down and just about all around, but yet, through it all we still hold on - holding onto a dream that one day we will be happy together again, the way we were before.
I know a love like ours people often dream about; that's why I hold on. To ease my mind I need to know ... why do you still hold on? I cannot change the past but work towards the future. I see in my future you and only you. You're my sunrise and sunset - my whole being of myself, living only for you. You make my rainy day's seem happy and my sunny day's something to look forward to as I wake each day. I know I have yet to be perfect and maybe a little rough around the edges but I know that I can be all you want, desire, and need in a lady.
We created a lovely baby made completely out of love, for that is why every day I look at her, she reminds me of the love we once held so dear. The day you packed your things and left, a part of my heart broke a little more through the endless tears and the unknowing of what is to become of us. It really had me afraid that this time, the end may truly be the end. But still we stay together, maybe not in sharing a home but still together, just to hold dear that true love can happen even to those whom have fallen a little out of love.
I am thankful we keep trying, for you are the most important person in my life and nothing will ever change that, my soul mate. I love you so deeply that even words tonight cannot express them enough.
Love always,
Tamara
Dear Fabrizio,
The day we met is the day I will never forget. Over and over I replay our chat and our first telephone conversation in my mind! You are so amazing you drive me crazy! You make me feel so happy and complete. If I hadn't met you. I know I'd still be searching... searching for you!
Ever since that special day, we have both grown in such a special way. And although I don't say it as often I want, I do want to say it now or else time will just pass me by again and I'll only keep wondering when. I want to say, "I love you, I need you, and I want you." Thank you for all the beautiful e-mails you've sent me, all the wonderful gifts you've mailed me and all the sweet words that just seem to be said at the right time and the right place.
You have the key to my heart and one day, when we meet, we will never, ever be apart! Alas! To finally kiss your tender warm lips, to feel your gentle hands, to look into those soft brown eyes and know you are the one I've been waiting for! I Love you, Babe! "Ich liebe dich."
Yours and only yours,
Bambolina Julie
dear annan,
never did i imagine that i would ever meet you, especially not in the form of a chat friend. a year later i am leading my life with you as your fiance which i could never thought of this very time last year.god has got his own reasons for us to meet and come this far. but i hope our love will flourish beyond what it is right now. distance maybe just a part of the reason why sometimes we think we can't handle this whole relationship, but i am sure our love for each other is way far stronger then any oceans can come across.
i am writting you this letter to tell you that my love for you is so real that i can't find any words to describe my feelings for you. at the same time i would like to thank you for all your patience while our relationship had to go through high waves and hard rocks. my love for you has grown so strong that i can never imagine a life without you now.i will always be yours no matter what the world turns out to be. my heart will always yearning for your love and care forever. i love you always.
missing you,jeya

亲爱的安南，我从来没有想到过，我会见到你，特别是在一个聊天的朋友。一年以后我主导我的生活与你的未婚夫，我可没想到去年这个时候。上帝有他自己的理由让我们相遇并且走到这一步。但我希望我们的爱会比现在更好。距离也许只是部分原因，有时我们认为我们无法维系这段感情，但是我确信我们对彼此的爱是阔过大海。
我写这封信给你，告诉你我对你的爱是如此真实，我无法用语言来表达我对你的感情。同时，我想感谢所有的耐心，而我们的关系也经过高波和坚硬的岩石。我对你的爱已变得如此强大，我无法想象没有你的生活现在。我将永远属于你，不管世界变成什么。我的心将永远思念你的爱和关怀永远。
我爱你总是想念你，jeya
Dear Bradley,
If only I could have come up with the right words to describe the depth of this beautiful feeling that I have for you, I would have uttered them to you the first time I laid my eyes on you. But, I lacked that knowledge, so the best thing that I can do is to show you how I really mean it now. I love you so dearly, sweetie. Do you know? You are the best thing that ever happened to me. You are like the best poetry ever composed, the best song ever played, the best picture ever painted. I never thought and expected that someone like me could get so lucky by finding you. How could I have known the comfort and the security of knowing that whenever I say "I love you," you're going to say the same words, too. I know that you love me too, or you wouldn't have married me. Marrying me was just among the many wonderful things you have done to show me how much I mean to you and that you are sincere. I love you sweetie, more than my life... more than my world. You are my world. Life wouldn't be life if not shared with you. We may be far away from each other for now, but you have my heart and my love. And I know that I have yours, too. It just feels so wonderful knowing and believing that. Aren't we lucky? I love you... more and more each day.
Forever Yours,
Lyn
