“Dear agnes,

The young people were young, their happiness was totally and openly happy and their beauty was beautiful & exhilaratingly innocent and contagious as innocence can be…

and as I contemplated it all like this pushing casually through the crowd. I saw you, agnes– unmistakingly you–who else could be so relaxed, so totally and so totally there– so totally yourself– so totally in it all at the same time– an image of transparency and relaxation and happiness

And it’s all very amazing, dear agnes, it’s all very amazing, everything, I mean everything–”
