But I suppose in such cases a man deceives himself and shuts his eyes to facts.
You have certainly nothing to blame yourself about.

Of course, it is a hard blow, but no doubt I shall get over it as other fellows do.

At any rate, I know that we shall always be dear friends, and you need not fear that I shall mope over my misfortune.

I shall run up to town for a bit, and as you are going up for the season next week, I shall no doubt often meet you.

Don't fret about me.
