Letter to Rochester


Dear Rochester.

I have thought about your proposal. And I have come to the conclusion that it would be wrong living together, even platonic as brother and sister. You are wed, and you belong with your wife, even though she is mentally unstable, it is your duty towards her, yourself and god to make her time as pleasant as you possibly can. It is so, because you promised her that in the presence of god, and therefore that promise is ever binding. You promised to love and cherish her for better and for worse, and what you are experiencing is worse. I wish we would have met earlier as I believe we would have made each other very happy indeed and I will love you forever, but goodbye my love.

Yours truly Jane.
