Dearest Anna,

Are you quite sure that you will not change your mind and come back to me? I will never leave you alone as he has done. You are a woman who understands me and my music. You have the passion, my dearest Anna, something that so few truly have. I am sure that I could make you happy. I will make a home for you and your son in Florence, where you shall outshine even the brightest of stars. Your young Henry will have the best education that I can give him too.

Please, please reconsider. I will be coming to America in a few months and would love to see you in New York. I will write to you with the dates and times.

All my love,
Giacomo Puccini

Evidently Puccini fell in love with my great grandmother and sought her hand while she and Grandfather were in Florence. I could not find a reply from her. Though I am sure she stayed with my great grandfather, I would love to see what she wrote to him, if anything.
