Love Letters? Written by Chris DS (9/23/2005 2:27 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Anne the younger (long), penned by MaryAnn K.

I thought the social mores of the time prohibited letters between girl and suitor unless they were engaged. I know Marianne writes to Willoghby in S&S but no social barriers bothered her overmuch and Elinor thought they must be engaged?
