Women tend to constrain their own sexuality out of consideration for their partner. Even as I come to the closing of this refute, I realize with open eyes that refuse to be blinded that I have not made a fraction of a difference in the close-minded views of Jesse Bailey. I may not have even enlightened him of other views besides those of his own. Yet I feel as though I have expressed my own views and that they may have enlightened someone else as to the views of others. Writing my own views and opinions serves as an infallible catalyst.
Life truly is what the individual makes it.
Sincerely, Ellen Gilchrist Mobile, AL Dear Ellen, What a relief to receive your letter, finally identifying yourself. I feel sure I've been proceeding under the illusion that you were your own mother, the writer of short stories and novels. No good at figures, specially lady's ages, a minefield for wanderers. Forty and fifty are also good years, I think, and I know from happy experience. The best gift of God is to be born with a cheerful disposition.
