我还在这里，不过等我到达目的地后我会写信告知你我的地址。

亲爱的妻子，我想给你寄一些东西但却不知找谁代劳，不过我会设法把这些东西交到你和孩子的手上。
Give my love to my father & mother and tell them good bye for me and if we shall not meet in this world I hope to meet in heaven.
替我向爸妈问好，代我向他们告别，若今生无法重逢，愿我们天堂再会。

我亲爱的妻子，这寥寥数语难抒我即将与你和孩子别离的悲伤。
I remain yours truly husband until death
卿乃吾爱 至死方休。
