"Wove, Twue Wove :-)"

My friend borrowed me a pamphlet called "Manners and Morals of Long Ago" that had this in the Courtship section of it. Make sure to read the whole letter before following the italicized instructions at the end:-)

*A Model Love Letter*

The great love I have hitherto expressed for you

is false, and I find my indifference towards you

increases daily.The more I see of you, the more

you appear in my eyes an object of contempt.

I feel myself every way disposed and determined

to hate you. Believe me , I never had an intention

to offer you my hand. Our last conversation has

left a tedious insipidity, which has by no means

given me the most exalted idea of your character.

Your temper would make me extremely unhappy;

and if we united, I shall experience everlasting nothing but

the hatred of my parents added to the everlasting dis-

pleasure in living with you. I have indeed a heart

to bestow , but I do not desire you to imagine it

at your service. I could not give any one more

inconsistent and capricious than yourself, and less

capable to do the honor to my choice and my family.

Yes, Miss, I hope that you will be persuaded that

I speak sincerely, and you will do me a favor

to avoid me . I shall excuse your taking the trouble

to answer this. Your letters are always full of

impertinence, and you have not a shadow of

wit and good sense. Adieu! adieu: believe me

so averse to you that it is impossible foe me even

to be your most affectionate and humble servant.

(Rather rude letter, don't you think? Or maybe not... if the reader will peruse this again, beginning with the first line and reading each alternate line,a different letter will be found. Enjoy:-)
