Dora Says Michael And I Have Been Aboard This Ship Forever
Dear Readers,
Michael Byrne, my parents, and I have been aboard The Philadelphia forever. I wonder if we will ever get back to the States. I keep wondering if Edward has reached his destination in the Dardanelles. I don't know exactly how long it would take to get there from England. But I keep on hoping every day that he will write me his first letter as he promised. I hope it will be waiting for me when I get home to Pittsburgh some days from now. After all, didn't Edward promise to write me every single day?
I am keeping my promise, too. I am writing him letters every day telling him how much I miss him. I look out over the gray North Atlantic and think how the vast gray waters are separating me from him. It makes me feel gloomy that I am getting farther and farther away from him all the time.
Will I ever see Edward again?
Sincerely yours,
Dora Benley
P.S. To think when I sailed to England on the Lusitania, I had never heard of Edward Ware!
