My Letter to Elizabeth
Following the events of my proposal, I was mortified and embarrassed. I wished to explain myself to Lizzy, but I did not wish to renew the offer of matrimony. I simply wished to communicate to her the truth of the stories which she had accused me of the following evening. I couldn't let her foster increased anger for me over events that were not intentionally my fault. I wrote her a letter at eight this morning in order to explain myself in the case of Mr. Wickham and to make her understand that I didn't know that Bingley and Elizabeth were completely in love. I will not defend my actions in either scenario, for I know what I did was right. I just hope that Elizabeth will understand my reasoning after she has finished reading my letter.

I hope you can now see what a deep love I had for Mr. Bingley. My modesty was only because I didn't want to embarrass myself in front of such a respectable man. You are correct that my family thought the marriage would be beneficial, partially because they saw how happy he made me. I don't mean to offend in any way. I want to apologize if I seem presumptuous. I believe that you should see how much I cared for Charles.
ReplyDeleteAs i have stated on may occasions this girl isn't worthy of you! If you were to marry her, i wouldn't call it love, I would call it charity! You should be relieved she rejected you. Just go on vacation; when you return wit a clear head you will feel much better.
