My dearest June; I miss you. Never did I imagine myself in such pain; a pain whose only remedy is you—to be with you. I know I said the same thing as last time, but that’s because I truly mean it. I have tried everything to convince myself that I'll be fine without you, but as I learn to live with this loneliness in my heart, a loneliness I never experience, I ask myself if I'll managed to survive without you because I have realized that without you I'm nobody.

I feel guilty for having to leave you, but the only way for us to get out of the situation was for me to come to America. I feel guilty for having to leave you, but if we wanted to overcome this, I had to come. Seeing those pamphlets in the street saying that there was hope, and hope was located in America. Everyone was talking about the gold rush and people believe that going there would make us rich. They have discovered gold in California and they were saying that I were to go there I would make a lot of
