Dear Miss Loy,

I rather enjoyed reading your sentiments on feminism and equality.  I agree that women should be allowed to do just as much work as the man.  There are so many things that I wish I could do to help others, but I have no means to do so.  I tried to get educated by my poor dear husband, Mr. Casaubon, to no avail.  He thought I was childish for wanting to further my education.  Even my dear sister Celia and Uncle Arthur think me foolish.  There is so much I wish to do, but as I am a mere woman I am not allowed to partake in my deepest wishes.  I do have to disagree with you, Miss Loy, on one account.  I do not wish to sacrifice my life as a married woman.  I believe the woman should honor her husband and listen to his wishes and abide by them.  If I ever disagree with him, I shall make my opinion heard, but I will do what I can to make my husband happy.  I cherish my marriage, happy or not, and shall respect him to no end.  It was a pleasure reading your poems and manifesto.
