Dear Father,
Your letter of the 15th ree:
The first thing I have to do is to utterly repudiate
& deny the charge brought against myself in yours – viz that I had written
to my husband’s dictation. The contents were entirely my own composition, &
until he returned home from business, my husband did not even know that I had
written at all. So that your recognition of his parrot like phrases fells
rather flat & is certainly a poor compliment to me, this I wish to make
perfectly clear to you – that whatever was contained in that letter emanated
from myself, however parrot like it may have been.
The remainder of your letter is unworthy an answer at all
& can only be the outcome of pique. You touch upon things of which you can
have no real knowledge & give judgement without being able to occupy the
position of judge.
I am weary of these long epistles & disgusted too -
& desire that this should end the matter – no possible good can come of
keeping it up & to save myself the pain of reading ay more defamatory &
malignant accusations against my husband, any other letter, henceforth, will be
returned unopened. And if you visit my husband’s house to see me, I must
decline to see you. You yourself, have compelled this course of action. All
would have been right if you had not thought proper to make it wrong, & I
conscientiously feel that I’m duty bound, this is the only line of action I
could take.
I remain
Your indignant daughter
