"At our last conversation, I notified you of my intention to communicate to you my decision in regard to the subject of that conversation.

Having carefully considered everything, I am writing now with the object of fulfilling that promise.

My decision is as follows.

Whatever your conduct may have been, I do not consider myself justified in breaking the ties in which we are bound by a Higher Power.

The family cannot be broken up by a whim, a caprice, or even by the sin of one of the partners in the marriage, and our life must go on as it has done in the past.
