VIRGINIA WOOLF'S SUICIDE NOTE

Dearest,

I feel certain I am going mad again.

I feelwe will go through

another of thoseterrible times.

And I shan'trecover this time.

I begin to hear your voice, and I

can't concentrate. So I am doing what seems

the best thing to do. You have give me

the greatest possible happiness. You have been

in every way all that anyone could be.

I don't think two people could have been

happier with this terrible disease. I can't

fight any longer. I know that I am spoiling

your life, that without me you

could work. And you will I know. You see I can't

even write this properly . I can't feel.

What I want to say is I owe all the happiness of my life to you.You

have been entirely patient with me and incredibly good. I want to

say that - everybody knows it. If anybody could have saved me it

would have been you. Everything has gone from me

but the certainty of your goodness. I can't go on spoiling your life

any longer.

I don't think two people could have been happier than we have been.
