Suppose one friend was to send another a letter by mail. What makes for an especially great letter? What elements make a letter newsy enough to be interesting, without seeming to be a catalog of fabulous adventures? What elements make a letter feel emotionally true and personal, without seeming to be the writer's self-important inner monologue? What elements best invite a response? What elements encourage a feeling of connection in the reader?

I'm looking for the full text of an angry letter written by P.B. Shelley.
It's a scathing letter written by Shelley to the father of a lady-friend he had. Shelley's relationship with the woman was non-amorous, but her father, the proprietor of an inn and a brute of sorts, thought it was and prevented Shelley from seeing his daughter. This angered Shelley and provoked him to write the said letter.
The letter ended with a sentence like this: "Neither the laws of nature nor of England have made children Private Property".
