An Englishwoman's Love-Letters
Anonymous

"It need hardly be said that the woman by whom these letter were written
had no thought that they would be read by anyone but the person to whom
they were addressed. But a request, conveyed under circumstances which
the writer herself would have regarded as all-commanding, urges that they
should now be given to the world .... The story which darkens these
pages cannot be more fully indicated while the feelings of some who are
still living have to be consulted; nor will the reader find the root of the
tragedy explained in the letters themselves. But one thing at least may be
said as regards the principal actors — that to the memory of neither of them
does any blame belong. They were equally the victims of circumstances,
which came whole out of the hands of fate and remained, so far as one of
the two was concerned, a mystery to the day of her death." (From the preface.)
