Her affair with [[Havelock Ellis]] probably had the most immediate devastating effect. Sanger first met Ellis in December of 1914, and just a few weeks later they were sending each other passionate letters.<ref name=edith>[https://books.google.com/books?id=aNn_AwAAQBAJ&pg=PA94 The Birth Control Movement and American Society: From Private Vice to Public Virtue]</ref> One letter read "I still love all that I have loved, and even if I loved another I should still love you". Ellis' wife Edith was on a speaking tour in America when Havelock mentioned Margaret to her in correspondence. Edith suffered both a physical and nervous breakdown and returned to England.
She passed away the following year.<ref name=edith />
