“A person who can write a long letter with ease, cannot write ill.”

“A woman is not to marry a man merely because she is asked, or because he is attached to her, and can write a tolerable letter.”

“And if I had not a letter to write myself, I might sit by you and admire the evenness of your writing, as another young lady once did. But I have an aunt too, who must not be longer neglected.”

“Every body allows that the talent of writing agreeable letters is peculiarly female.”

“Every body at all addicted to letter writing, without having much to say, which will include a large proportion of the female world at least…”

“I am not at all in a humor for writing; I must write on till I am.”

“Oh! write, write. Finish it at once. Let there be an end of this suspense. Fix, commit, condemn yourself.”
