Mary Wollstonecraft's Love Letters to Gilbert Imlay 71

Letter 71

WollstonecraftEnglish
[London, Nov. 1795] Monday Morning.
I am compelled at last to say that you treat me ungenerously. I agree with you, that
But let the obliquity now fall on me.--I fear neither poverty nor infamy. I am unequal to the task of writing--and explanations are not necessary.
My child may have to blush for her mother's want of prudence--and may lament that the rectitude of my heart made me above vulgar precautions; but she shall not despise me for meanness.--You are now perfectly free.--God bless you.
MARY.
