The Crucible: A Letter from Elizabeth to John Proctor
Dear my lovely husband John, Today I am writing to you, thinking about all of our lovely memories we have had in Salem as a wonderful married couple. I am writing this letter to you because I wanted to day my last few words to you before you are hanged. How did everything go from having a lovely life to, you being sentence to death because you confessed about being in contact with the devil? Also, I feel this is completely my fault, and I am the breakdown of our family. I have a lot of regrets from our marriage that I caused. I let Abigail get the best of me, and it ruined our marriage and now I am not going to have a husband anymore because you are going to die. I really regret our fight in our house after you got home. I remember me telling you that Mary Warren was in Salem, and that she was an official of the court. Then you told me that you had a moment with Abigail Williams.

I am very glad that you were honest and told me up front that you were alone with Abigail. I hated the emotion on your face, when I was taken away with Rebecca Nurse, and Martha Corey.

I know you are very worried about me in jail, but I was not going to confess in court about me being a witch, when it is not true. Before you die, I just want you to know how much I love you, and how you
