The sweetest letter

My favorite part is this one; John returns to Germany and receives the first letter. It is a long letter but is the sweetest letter I have read. Savannah tries to print all her feelings without keeping anything for herself. Without doubt, this letter is an important factor of the success of the relation. John finally notices that he means a lot to her and that both will do the impossible to keep their love alive. I specially get interested in making a letter like this one someday in my life. Although writing letter is a little bit old-fashioned I think that is really romantic and that is a sweet way of expressing your feelings to someone special.

Quotes:

“I love you, John Tyree, and I´m going to hold you the promise you once made to me. If you come back, I ´ll marry you, If you break your promise, you will break my heart.”
