Chapter 18 RIZAL
Chapter 18 RIZAL
With encourage, Rizal courted Nelly. Unfortunately his marriage proposal failed for two reasons:
(1) he refused to give up his Catholic faith and be a protestant and (2) Nellys mother did not like
Rizal as a son-in-law. Although they did not get married, they parted as good friends. When Rizal
left Europe, Nelly sent him farewell letters, saying her wishes and prayers for Rizal.
