Why did you not cut her in '77? Do say if you pay any one else. Do! I can bear all now. Remember you are very terribly laughed at about that vulgar brute E. Farrell. Take care, be more circumspect - more dignified. Don't make those vile jokes. And above all, don't joke with Mary Anne, Andy's sister. Remember it would be all over this place if you do. For I shall at once dismiss her. Now be brave and true and tell me all. Your loving wife MM. But very very unhappy wife. I am determined not to be put off with words but must have all broken off from this day. Write in your own name to Mrs Cassidy and say you give up the house now - God help you."
