"I have been looking at the stars, and thinking what an

immense distance they are away. What an insignificant thing

the loss of, say, forty years of life is compared with them!

It seems scarcely worth talking about. Well, good-bye, you

darlings. Try not to worry about it, and remember that we

shall meet again really quite soon.

"This letter is going to be posted _if_...."

The letter was posted. But its message of Death is also a message of

Victory.
