Mary Wollstonecraft's Love Letters to Gilbert Imlay 46
Letter 46
WollstonecraftEnglish
[Hull] June 15 [1795].
I want to know how you have settled with respect to ----. In short, be very particular in your account of all your affairs--let our confidence, my dear, be unbounded.--The last time we were separated, was a separation indeed on your part--Now you have acted more ingenuously, let the most affectionate interchange of sentiments fill up the aching void of disappointment. I almost dread that your plans will prove abortive--yet should the most unlucky turn send you home to us, convinced that a true friend is a treasure, I should not much mind having to struggle with the world again. Accuse me not of pride--yet sometimes, when nature has opened my heart to its author, I have wondered that you did not set a higher value on my heart.
Receive a kiss from Fanny, I was going to add, if you will not take one from me, and believe me yours
Sincerely
MARY.
The wind still continues in the same quarter.
