Plath and Marcia Brown

Many of the women Plath met at college became her friends for life. This letter to her college roommate, Marcia Brown, was written a week before her death. Plath and Ted Hughes had separated the previous October. They were living at Court Green, a thatched manor house in Devonshire. Plath writes about her plans to make a life of her own in London with her two children, Frieda and Nicholas Hughes. Plath committed suicide in her London apartment on February 11, 1963. Sylvia
