16 January 1891
My Felix,I believe you have made a very good point in favor of blackmailing some influencal matron and leaving such work to her. I am as like to burn him as to dazzle him, I fear. My last true attempt at wooing the man culminated in hearing my credentials and him asking if I sought employment. Not the intended result.
You are too good to me still. You have been kinder to my heart more often than I am. There are days more days of late when I do think of your offer. Often, but it is not just my happiness and future that would impact. Felix, your heart is not immune to feeling. Have you considered (again) what such a thing would do to your heart?
Not nearly as important as how good said hands are at taking direction. I would assume that factor universal, but who am I to speak on behalf of your rather interesting sex?
Your Angelique
