i can scarcely breathe.

I hope you are breathing well again.

As you answer the previous email, I want you to do so
on a line-by-line basis. It is important that we know
just what is expected, and that I am not pressing you
too hard. you know I would LIKE to have you in
complete and total submission, but I completely
understand your need to remain a separate entity. If
I am demanding more than you can do, let's discuss it.
As I noted, this is a delicate balance, and although
I ache to command and control you, I do not wish to
bully you into something you simply cannot do.

with deepest love and affection

Master
