CONSTANTIA.—Trust our kind friend (under promise) with all except means of intelligence. Say how grateful I am for kindness to you. Say nothing to T. at present. B. B. could not offend. L.’s confidence and respect increase daily. Have taken measures to frustrate our enemy. Keep aloof from this person. Advise our kind friend to do the same as terrible disclosures impend (not affecting us).—L.

DECIMALS to CHEOPS.—Honest John Bull is pig-headed, but he begins to grasp this business. I claim to rank with Cobden, Bright, and Rowland Hill. I go on. (Long R—— Joey). Address E. J. Wilson, Ennis, Ireland.

BLUE BELL.—Should have written sooner, but am far away. Write as often as can; ’tis all I have to cheer me. Now and then. The person you so much dislike (a Lady) is the enemy alluded to. I am not very friendly with him whose visits you advised me of. Do not let him gain any information from you, and believe nothing he may report. Cheer up. Every confidence. Be cautious.—L.
969.—Wednesday, September 22, 1858.
CONSTANTIA.—Received two. That which has worried you is part of a plan. Heed it not. If that which you allude to is not given it must be done without. Rely upon L’s affection and determination. Who says ’tis for the best? 1st November. The time will pass, slow as it lags. Were it 10 instead of 2 it would make no change. Pray write soon—tell me of your health. B. B. must be very steadfast, and close ears to the insidious whisperings, which will be continued.—VIOLET.
