| Description | Letter from Amelia Nyasa Laws, Rome, to her parents, reporting that Paul Rossi has asked her to marry him, but she has refused him, though he has asked several times, 'His nationality, mental outlook, physical weakness in nervous tendencies, ungentlemanly ways and impossible personality altogether left me in no doubt whatever, but I had to go through with it in a way which would cast no slur on my own character or that of Dr. Gray's niece', it has caused Aunt some distress. |
