Marjorie Daw" is a short story by Thomas Bailey Aldrich. One of Aldrich's first short stories, and his most famous, it was first published in 1869 (in book form in 1873, in Marjorie Daw and Other People) and remains in print to this day.

When the other correspondent becomes madly smitten with the imaginary Ms Daw, the first correspondent is forced to confess his ruse.
