Elsewhere in the note, Clapton asks Boyd if she's still in love with Harrison, or is seeing someone else. Looking back, Boyd says Clapton's pursuit came at a time when the cracks were already beginning to show in her marriage and, at the same time, in the Beatles as well. Things reached a fever pitch when Clapton wrote the love song"Layla" for Boyd. Soon after, the musician also admitted to Harrison that he had feelings for Harrison's wife. The next letter in the collection was written months later on a torn-out page from the classic novel"For nothing more than the pleasures past I would sacrifice my family, my god, and my own existence…Why do you hesitate, am I a poor lover, am I ugly, am I too weak, too strong, do you know why?" he asks.
