Chapter 60 Letter Fifty-eight Julie to Gentleman Edward

Gentleman, I am not writing this letter to complain about you.Since you are talking about me, I must have done something unintentionally to offend you.How else would a man of integrity want to want to discredit a respectable family for no good reason?If you think you are justified in taking revenge, then take revenge.This letter of mine will tell you the simple and easy way by which you can put to death a girl whose conscience is perpetually disturbed by offending you, who puts her reputation at your disposal because you want destroy it.Yes, gentleman, you are right, I have a lover who is master of my heart and of my being, and only death can sever this most tender bond.This person is someone you value enough to befriend, who is worth your friendship because he likes you and because he is a moral person.Yet he is about to die at your hands; and I know that honor insulted must be paid in blood; I know that in a duel you feared not, his strong heart will meet the fatal blow without fear. hit.I would have liked to curb this senseless passion, and I made sense of it to him.What a pity!As I write this letter, I already feel that I am ineffective.In spite of all my respect for his morals, I do not believe that his high morals will ever cause him to abandon his false conception of honor.Now you can enjoy piercing your friend's heart with your own hands, but know, you savage, that you will at least have no pleasure in seeing me cry and despair.No, I swear by the love that groans in my heart, bear witness to my promise: I will never live a day longer than the one I love; Unlucky lovers are sent to their graves who have never offended you, and who have always respected you.

Gentleman, you are said to be of a high spirit and a good heart.If your heart can let you safely enjoy the joy of revenge and the joy of causing misfortune that I don't understand, then when I am no longer alive, I hope your heart can let you understand righteousness and take care of my pain I am the only child of the parents of the bereaved daughter, and my death will make the parents feel miserable forever!
