TO C. and—E.—Your suppositions as to the principal thing, and also about the last charge, are wrong. In whatever way I learned, it was not in the way you suppose. A little more honesty, a little more faithfulness on the part of some, two years ago, would have been well received, and attended with consequences the most beneficial. Do not fear a repetition of the same course. As to fraud and ingratitude, form just what opinion pleases you, and stick to it till upset for another. No letters from any quarter; not even answers which I ought to have got. Who told A? or am I wrong there too. Break the ice, and let me know this one thing at least.—F.
792.—Friday, December 12, 1856.
C.—Very well. Please yourself, and I shall please myself. If you do not choose to speak just be silent.—F.
