Thanks, I'd forgotten about Cassandra... Written by Line (8/29/2005 7:55 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Cassandra is an unusual name, penned by Mary Ellen

...since the letter is only *addressed* to her! ;-) Perhaps JA didn't use that name in her stories because she thought it would sound too odd or different to her *readers*, who would also have been used to Jane, Mary, Elizabeth, etc.?
