| CONTENT DESCRIPTION | |||
| Abstract | Letter in anonymous form giving the views of a certain lady on love as opposed to those of a certain gentleman {Franklin). She asserts that she is a follower of Plato, while he is an Epicurean and a disciple of Anacrcon. Platonic love is a convenient safeguard for the fair sex (beau sexe). Exculpates herself from the accusation of showing or giving copies to others of the gentleman's letters to her without his consent. Attributes his displeasure and bad humor to her refusal to accept his proposals of love. | ||
