February 8, 1882
I am a proper lady. Cooking is for the staff, which we have plenty of. My husband is not a prisoner, I have never forced him to marry me, he is the one to ask for my hand.
You are wrong, society as a whole is full of idiots, with few who are of intelligent minds, such as my husband. You were not born with this intelligence, as you have made clear.
Only the blind, such as yourself, would not recognize pure perfection, such as I. I do not feel sorry for you. The very fact that you have sent me several letter has even indicated that I am worth everyone’s time, even swine like you.
Mrs. Lyness

Lady made pretties!
