We must meet, Jessie.

This rash step, I fear, is going to involve consequences far more disastrous than you have imagined.
It is no light thing for a woman to throw herself beyond the pale of her husband's protection .-- Something is owed to the world--something to reputation--something to your good name; and much to your husband.

I may have been hasty, but I was sincere.

There are some things that looked wrong; _they look wrong still_, and will _always look wrong_ if your present attitude is maintained.

I wish to see you, that we may, together, review these unhappy questions, and out of a tangled skein bring even threads, if possible.
