Wayland (Massachusetts, United States) (search for this): chapter 60
To Ellis Gray Loring. Wayland, February 24, 1856. David has signed my will and I have sealed it up and put it .away. It excited my towering indignation to think it was necessary for him to sign it, and if you had been by, you would have made the matter worse by repeating your old manly fling and twit about married women being dead in the law. I was not indignant on my own account, for David respects the freedom of all women upon principle, and mine in particular by reason of affection superadded. But I was indignant for womankind made chattels personal from the beginning of time, perpetually insulted by literature, law, and custom. The very phrases used with regard to us are abominable. Dead in the law, Femme couverte. How I detest such language! I must come out with a broadside on that subject before I die. If I don't, I shall walk and rap afterward.
