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.

MARY.
