It is addressed Written by Patricia P (11/2/2008 4:28 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, That's taking 'mercenariness' further than I imagined, penned by Tom P2

Anne, satisfied at a very early period of Lady Russell's meaning to love Captain Wentworth as she ought, had no other alloy to the happiness of her prospects than what arose from the consciousness of having no relations to bestow on him which a man of sense could value. There she felt her own inferiority keenly. The disproportion in their fortune was nothing: it did not give her a moment's regret

She could regret that she does not have more money to bring to the marriage but doesn't because money was never what it was about for her. The disproportion originally went the other way-assuming they could convince her father to cough-up Was Wentworth being mercenary in chosing a Baronets daughter with 10,000?
