Lettres d'Amour

"My adorable wolf, I love you!"
"My beloved jewel"
"Goodnight my cherished love"
"My dear little wife, again tonight I'm far away from you.."
"My treasure, my only joy, my orange half that I love"

dated 1890 and following years.

if someone has a better translation for "la moitie d'orange que j'aime", I appreciate!
