MADAM, The great love and tenderness I have hitherto expressed for you is false, and I now feel that my indifference towards you increases proportionably every day, and the more I see you the more I appear ridiculous, and an object of contempt, and the more I feel disposed, inclined, and finally determined, to hate you.

MADAM,
The great love and tenderness I have hitherto expressed for you is false, and I now feel that my indifference towards you increases proportionably every day, and the more I see you the more I appear ridiculous, and an object of contempt, and the more I feel disposed, inclined, and finally determined, to hate you. Believe me I never had the least inclination to offer you my hand and heart. Our last conversation has I assure you, left a wretched insipidity, which has by no means possessed me with the most exalted opinion of your character. Yes, madam, and you will much oblige me, by avoiding me. And if ever we are united, I shall experience nothing but the fearful hatred of my parents, added to an everlasting displeasure of living with you. Yes, madam, I think sincerely. You need not put yourself to the smallest trouble or send or write me an answer—Adieu. And believe that I am so averse to you, that it is really impossible I should ever be,

Madam,
Your affectionate lover till death,
W. GOFF. To Miss M. W—ms.

EXPLANATION.

There are two ways of reading it; the father compelled his daughter to show him all letters sent to her—the unsuspecting father reads straight forward, but the daughter having the clue, reads the first, third, and fifth lines, and so on. Tho the contrast will be discovered.
