Lost Letters Letter 68 - April 29th, 1842 My beloved William, My grief is not as burdensome as it once was; for it has lingered with me since I was but a small girl. You see, I have no recollections of my father and mother. At age two I was orphaned, and at seven-years-old I was adopted by my foster parents. They favored their other children and were quite miserly with their affection. While I dwelled beneath their roof, I often drew and painted in my bedchamber—especially imagined portraits of what my true mother and father might look like. I’d even speak to them, as if they could hear me. These are my first memories of seeking relief through my artistic fancies. I know I must sound quite mad!
