I, too, hope to see you. [ commas with 'too']

[immunobobology]

Hi all, first time poster here, not sure if my question is appropriate for this thread or not... I'm wondering about my usage of commas in the phrase "I, too, hope to see you again soon." This is in the context of an email. I realize it maybe better written as "I hope to see you again soon too" but I prefer the initial way I've asked about. Please let me know what you think, thanks!

"I, too, hope to see you again soon."

The commas are fine, but ..... The "too" suggests that yet another person has responded in the same way.

Is that what you intend?

Yes, I'm responding to someone who said "I hope to see you again soon." So I think I'm ok. I'm also considering other phrasing, such as "I hope to see you again soon as well." Is there a best option, or is it stylistic?

Probably because I'm an old, retired, picky editor, I'd say something like, "I, too, hope we can get together soon."

Great, thanks!
