- The Worlds of Sally McDowell and John Miller
- Fearing I say too much, unwilling to say too little.
- I have been able to say to you many things with my pen, that I could never have uttered with my tongue.
- I wonder if I shall love you as much face to face as I do in this letter-garb.
- Letters are poor substitutes for long talks, but we must put up with them.
- If you love that lady dont marry her.
- Shall I tell you all that goes in at the golden gate of Fancy or only of what goes out at the iron door of Fate?
- I may just talk to you about all things, as tho you were only another self.
- I want to love you not only with my heart, but with my mind too.
- So, good bye My dear Mrs McDowell.
- Those years of trial.
