“My Dearest Ruth,” it said, “You are the only person I have ever loved…
I have admired and loved you almost since the day we first met at Cornell…
The time has come for me to… take leave of life because the loss of quality simply overwhelms.
I hope you will support where I come out, but I understand you may not.
I will not love you a jot less.”
A day after he died, she was at the Supreme Court reading an opinion.
