Collins Letter doesn't make it any better

"The death of your daughter would have been a blessing in comparison of this." (Volume III, Chapter VI)
In Collins letter he is saying that it is so much of a disgrace that it would have been better if Lydia had died, rather than run off with Wickham, when they were not married yet. Collins letter, once again shows his lack of communication skills with people. Mr. and Mrs. Bennett are already freaking out about their youngest being out of the house before the oldest. In every part of the letter Collins is just saying how great it is that he did not marry into the family. It is almost like he forgets that he is still related to the Bennett family. What we get from this letter is that Lydia could have done anything else and it still would not have been as bad as running off with a man she is not yet married to.
