VIOLET.—The notice T. C. T. on the 9th was mine. I have cause again to repeat the same. Pray write and say where a letter can be sent to you safely. You know my address. Depend on me.—November 26.
990.—Friday, December 3, 1858.
FAITH.—You have made me supremely happy. I do rely, and have perfect confidence. You were grossly deceived. Entirely powerless for harm. I accede to everything. Residence is changed. Address as in January. God bless you!
991.—Tuesday, December 21, 1858.
DEAR MARIE.—“Thanks.” “All is well. Semper idem.” Cautious, but quite unchanged by trials. All is quite safe. A gleam appears. The full day is at hand. Your conduct is noble. Refer as I do thus. “God bless you. Ever your own,—.”—Dec. 18.
992.—Tuesday, December 21, 1858.
NEW YEAR’S DAY.—Remember your promise, its fulfilment would atone for the past, and mitigate the future. I seek no impossible renewal—only my own peace. Urge no commonplaces as to inexpediency, &c.—the heart knoweth its own bitterness. You once confided a dark page of your life’s history to me; can you not trust me now? I never betrayed you. Ignoring “the days that are no more,” we may yet be friends. I hazard all.
993.—Saturday, January 1, 1859.
THE FIRST INCOME, St. Clement’s.
