The following letter to • brother of the young man with whom she kept compary was read by the Coroner Your letter destroyed the 'sat hope I bad, as no doubt it was n4102(181 to. You are very kind when you offer to help me so kind, indeed, that you I make me wonder whether you pLrsuaded your brother to give me up. If au, you have been the means of wrecking my life. I am • good and an intelligent woman, quite as well born as yourselves. and your brother would have been a better and • happier man hal he been my lover. The worst part of his cruelty was I ml he thoroughly knew my worth. He professed to think barmen very fortunate, as Indeed he was, t have won me. He would have been ennobled mentally and morally by the slifarme. N., one knows tfi s better than himself. I was never able to care for any man until I met him. 1 bad day dreams, o! °Qum, but they were purely ideal. I am alone in the world, without a Sintle creature to eare for me. Your brother gave Ina • new interest in lee. I should have existed solely for him. I do not want you to iniat ne that I took my life in a (rant e mentent. I have been considering for several days whether I could bear to live on, and flud I have not strength. I am ping to Dover to walk over She Witt My death may perhaps be consi,!ered acuidental. So much the better. I wish your brother to know I fled. I have every right to be remembered by him, and he is still very dear to me. Will you do my memory the Justice to WU him the truth ? If I wrong you by my suspicions lam wrry—khroisis? lbsetsv Dom, There was no addrene given in this letter. The jury returned • verdict of suicide whilst temporarily insane.
