I agree: not from CW

As to whether Anne might not have known CW's handwriting--
Additionally, I think it likely that the Musgroves would have taken the pains to communicate with Anne, given how very grateful they felt for her assistance to them during the early stages of the ordeal. Perhaps there would have been talk in Lyme about sending word to Anne? I doubt they would have relinquished the commission of this duty to Wentworth -- and in fact, they likely would have found it odd that CW would have been communicating with Anne, as it would have been their duty, and not his. Also, they perceived him as a suitor for Louisa's hand. It would have been inappropriate for him to be writing to Anne -- even about Louisa's progress, and they would have been uncomfortable with that idea. So if CW had been writing letters about Louisa's condition to Anne, I think we (and she) would have known it. Finally, if the notes had come from CW, I think that we readers would certainly have been treated to Lady Russell's opinion on this matter! :-D |
