Posthumous Works of the Author of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman
LETTER XII.
Tuesday Evening.
Sir,
WHEN you left me this morning, and I reflected a moment--your _officious_ message, which at first appeared to me a joke--looked so very like an insult--I cannot forget it--To prevent then the necessity of forcing a smile--when I chance to meet you--I take the earliest opportunity of informing you of my real sentiments.
MARY WOLLSTONECRAFT.
