You are preparing a wretched future for yourself, and it would be most cruel and wrong for me to encourage you in this.

Secondly, I come to the more painful part of this letter--your intimacy with this man Wilde.

It must either cease or I will disown you and stop all money supplies.

I am not going to try and analyse this intimacy, and I make no charge; but to my mind to pose as a thing is as bad as to be it.

With my own eyes I saw you both in the most loathsome and disgusting relationship as expressed by your manner and expression.
