1. So I decided that, for my own sake, I wouldn’t visit you again while I was upset.
2. If I make you sad, who will be there to make me glad when you are sad because of me?
3. That’s why I wrote this very thing to you, so that when I came I wouldn’t be made sad by the ones who ought to make me happy. I have confidence in you, that my happiness means your happiness.
4. I wrote to you in tears, with a very troubled and anxious heart. I didn’t write to make you sad but so you would know the overwhelming love that I have for you.
