While Burr wished for a marriage based on sense (rather than empty compliments and sentiments), he responded to Theodosia’s sensual prose. In 1781, for instance, he picked up on her allusion to the caress of water, replying “it kept me awake a whole night, and lead to a train of thoughts and sensations which cannot be described.” Theodosia countered with her own brand of pillow talk. She described how “every tender sensation is awake to thee”, and in another letter pictured her “kindred spirit” lying next to her. Like Madame de Staël, and other French writers of the time, Theodosia compared her sexual desire to the euphoric sensations of an exotic opuim den. Once, in 1784, she passionately wrote: “Love in all its delirium hovers about me; like opium it lulls me to soft repose!”
