Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters Received in My Two Widow-Hoods Having read Marie Bashkirtseff's Letters, I thought to myself, why should not my letters, received during my two widow-hoods, be of interest? The Bashkirtseff letters are those of a schoolgirl; mine are to a woman, and they show how much, even in this nineteenth century, a woman can be thought of, admired and loved. They also show that all women do not, as men think, grasp at the first offer of marriage. I have never read a book of this kind, nor have I ever heard of just such a compilation. The new "Abelard," like the old, was a mere brain-child, "Clarinda" high-strung, the Lytton letters childish, the Piozzi case an affair of second childhood. Those who might have given such a work to the world may have been deterred, either by the feeling that such human documents would not attract, or by scruples on the score of honor. There is, however, no real violation of confidence in my case, as I have substituted aliases for actual names.
