Posthumous Works of Mary Wollstonecraft/Volume 4/Letter 87
LETTER VIII.
You made me very low-spirited last night, by your manner of talking.—You are my only friend—the only person I am intimate with.—I never had a father, or a brother—you have been both to me, ever since I knew you—yet I have sometimes been very petulant.—I have been thinking of those instances of ill-humour and quickness, and they appeared like crimes.
Yours sincerely
MARY.
