Cassandra didn't destroy this letter: or others which contain funny but somewhat callous remarks.

Which i think make Jo Moderts argument that Cassandra did not deface,burn,destoy Ja lettres more believable :-)

Ja has always had this capacity tobe cruel: think of the Dick Musgrove incident in Persuasion.And most of the time I think she is being very funny indeed,but this is very near the knuckle.

But then we were never intended to read it.I can think of things Ive written to you I'd hate anyone else to read...so get to that shredder.Who cares if we are not famous!
