My Beloved
Around 1814 to the current year 1826 is when I finally establish a life with my true love. Percy Bysshe Shelley is an admirer of my father, Godwin, and Percy often visits him. He comes to see my father because he promised Godwin that he would help pay for Godwin’s debts but eventually failed in doing so. Also, it is said that Percy was married a couple years ago with a woman named Harriet but has recently become estranged from her.
The St. Pancras Churchyard
Moreover, regarding to my relationship with Percy, we secretly meet at my mother’s grave in St. Pancras Churchyard and eventually fell in love. Sadly, however, both of our parents disapprove of our love for each other. I believe that “ties of the heart are more important that legal ones”. My father, Godwin, tried to recover the “spotless frame” of my image. The fact that Percy cannot assist my father in paying his debts just made the situation worse. Likewise, after our decision to leave to go to France, Percy’s father decided to end Percy’s great amount of allowance after we furtively ran away together. We take my step-sister, Claire Clairmont, with us on our journey to the unknown. However, Percy chooses to leave his wife behind and later caused the suicidal death of Harriet. Nonetheless, in my opinion, our adventure seem to turn out “being an incarnate romance”. I deeply hope that our passionate marriage will end up successful; anyhow, I soon discover that Percy has been having affairs with other women. This shows that are love is somewhat tearing apart. Despite our failures in producing children who survive, I am wishing the best of luck for me and Percy to live the rest of our lives to the fullest.

I just talked to your husband and how he left his wife for you. I am impressed. Honestly, I don't see what he sees in you beside the obvious fact that you are beautiful, smart, and talented. Just kidding, you are a wonderful women so I believe that Percy made the right decision running away with you. Oh and don't worry about the death of Harriet. It's not your fault. If there has to be someone to blame, then she should blame herself for not being able to keep a mans heart. Well that's it for now and hope you and Percy have a happily ever after.
Hello Mary,
Your husband is truly a great man and a great influence of mine. His work was simply amazing, and your Frankenstein was a masterpiece too. I am very much intrigued by the monster... in a way we are slightly similar -all alone... You are very lucky to have Mr. Shelley and I can see that your love is strong.
Unfortunately, I do not have the bond that you two share, however I do wish some bit of luck will come my way.
Best wishes to you two,
-Edgar Allan Poe
