I thought I had better ask you to the wedding. You will not like my Husband – he is a vile man, & very short, dark haired, & pale-faced, & possesses a fearful temper. [underlined] Would that I could [/underlined] marry a tall, fair-haired youth with a ruddy complexion, & a manner as gentle nor any lamb. Tremble for me as nears the hour of my imprisonment!

Vale amicus!
