In this heartfelt letter from June 6, 1971, Dick writes to Sarah after receiving a welcome surprise: three letters from her in one day. He shares the story behind the Smoky Topaz ring he sent from Bangkok, offers practical advice on navigating military red tape, and vents his frustration with bureaucracy — all while reaffirming his unwavering love. More than anything, this letter is about emotional unity: how their love only makes sense when they’re together. As Dick puts it, “Together we are one.
