was certianly not a clandestine correspondence which would have breached respectibility.

That was the problem with such love letters: they were secret and , of course, that could lead to the problems Jane Fairfax expereinced: her reputation would be compromised if the news of the clandestine correspndece with Frank had been made public.

Here Richard Buller who had lived amongst them as a boarder at the Seenton Rectory while he was being taught by George Austen writes openly to JA : if it was onlyadressed to her it does not signify, IMHO, for he knows that she will read his letter to the others and probalby let them read it too.

I don't see there is anything specifically wrong about it; he is writing as an old family friend ,almost as a brother.
