151 [text] [backdated to very late last night]
It has become obvious that I owe several people, including Dr. Lewis, apologies or more. However, at the moment, I cannot offer more than that. At the moment, I cannot think clearly.
I will say more when I return.
[warden filter]
There is something I have to find out at home. Tis very urgent, or I would try to find a way to make it wait. Dracula has promised me solemnly that he will keep to himself and keep his mouth shut. This is only a few days at most.
At this point, I don't care about the gardens much, but I think Charlie Crews also has keys should anything in that area become an issue.
To tell the truth, whether I return at all depends upon my sister and my wife. I mean to, if it's possible, but it may not be.
I have erred badly, but I never intended anyone else to be hurt. That doesn't change anything.
To those of you who think I am running away, I am very, very sorry. I am not strong enough to do this without knowing what I am leaving to learn.
[friends filter, if he has any left]
I'm so very, very sorry. I hope I make it back to say this again in person, to each of you.
[private to Dracula]
I mean to hold you to your word. When I get back, you and I have some serious work to do to mend our situation here on board. I won't belittle what you've done, but obviously I have approached this entirely wrong. That is not your fault. You may not be pleased with me, but I promise you I will do my best for you when I return.
I will leave the key to my cabin with you if you wish an alternate place to rest. Try not to wreck it. Allow no one else inside. Thank you.
I will see you in just a day or so when I return.
