Emily Bronte

Dear Emily Bronte,

I have been reading your novel. It is difficult, for your characters abuse each other unmercifully. So I worry for you.

I have heard that you attended a school where abuse was the order of the day. What happened to you there. And your father? What was he like? Stern? A clergyman they say. They have a bad reputation statistically for abuse. Did he abuse you? How?

I'll write more later. I want to finish up the book. And I've heard there are some poems.

We must talk more.

Betsy
