"This time I be no cleverer than my letters. 'Twas Joe Kerridge's wife, next dower the cottage, said, 'Ta'ak it on to the Granny at Dessington. And says I to her, 'They'm gotten the sa'am yoong ma'an to write 'em love-letters, I says. 'You couldn't tell they two letters apart, but for the neams on 'em. And then Mrs.
'My darling Tom' who is this from Yours ever, Mary Ossary. Why, it's one of young Dimsdale's love-letters which has got mixed up with my business papers. Ha! ha!

When Calpurnia was obliged to leave her husband and go to Campania for her health, we find Pliny writing her tender love-letters, describing his anxiety on her behalf, telling her how he conjures up the very things he most dreads, how he reads and re-reads her letters, which are his only comfort, and begging her to write him certainly once, and if possible, twice a day.

I don't write 'em love-letters, and say 'H'sh! to my wife when she ventures to make a remark about it. I may work myself to skin and bone for a man wot's old enough to know better, but I'm not going to be trod on. Dorothy, indeed!
Houghton, the woman who had written love-letters to her husband, was shown up into her drawing-room before she had the means of escaping. When the name was announced she felt that she was trembling.
