From Petruccio to Jessica- The Ungracious Woman

Dearest Jessica-
Oh lovely Jessica with a woman's cold heart, how you defy your own father. You shun his love and steal away with his wealth. You leave him crying with a broken heart in the streets; lost without the love of his daughter, his one companion, who broke his heart with harsh dishonesty.

Albeit you are a woman and a Jew; what more could one expect of you? Two strikes against thee, what will be three?

Pray you feel blessed that Lorenzo has taken interest and pulled you to his side. Only his Christianity will save thee. Soon you will learn, through what I fear may be strict instruction, what loyalty truly be. Loyalty to your husband and all that encompasses he, dear Jessica, are what certainly will be, what keeps you from Hell and all its cruel eternity.
