  5 Liddington 1994, 58. Anne Lister counted the letters in a list and also wrote a diary at the time, see: Contents of my letter-Drawer, including: Papers concerning M[ariana]. P[ercy]. B[elcombe]. 1814 & 1815 My journal of our acquaintance. Up until 1822, Mariana wrote Anne over 400 letters, almost none of which have survived; Anne Lister presumably burned them in the 1830s, or perhaps it was Ann Walker in the 1840s.

This and the following quotes date from later years of the relationship; they stand here in place of the destroyed diary entries of 1814 and 1815 as an illustration of the first rush of love. Anne Lister sometimes abbreviated Mariana’s name as ‘M–’, which the editors of her diaries sometimes took over and sometimes did not.
