"I hope all, though sorrowful, has been for the best. I hope that angelic sweetness which I have witnessed will continue when I am gone. That belief only can make my grave peaceful.
"I leave you affluence and honour at least, I leave you the means of repairing my injury. That is my comfort; but forgive me, Jane. Say, my child, you forgive me for what has passed."
She stretched her hand to me, which I bathed with my tears.--But this subject afflicts me too much.
Give my affectionate compliments to Mr. Montford, and tell me that you wish to see your
JANE.
Letter LXI
To Mrs. Talbot
New York, October 22.
You tell me, my dear Jane, that you are coming to reside in this city; but you have not gratified my impatience by saying how soon. Tell me when you propose to come. Is there not something in which I can be of service to you?--some preparations to be made?
Tell me the day when you expect to arrive among us, that I may wait on you as soon as possible.
