1234.—Thursday, February 13, 1862.
OUR TERRACE.—My Beloved, I live only in the assurance of your truth and love. Pray WRITE.
1235.—Friday, February 14, 1862.
G.O. in D.—Very good for false premises. Try again, but let truth be your guide. Dublin.
1236.—Friday, February 14, 1862.
WATCHER.—All safe. WRITE, and send the letter. Do not be alarmed, as the object of the writers must be to annoy or intimidate you for some purpose of their own. Their malice here is quite harmless. Above all, make no confidant, nor ask any advice. Be patient, and rely upon me. An unexpected absence has caused this delay. For ever ——.
1237.—Wednesday, February 26, 1862.
FRED.—All right. I sympathize with your pain, but why seek consolation where you cannot find it, and in a way that pains me? WRITE as usual. Trust ever.
1238.—Saturday, March 8, 1862.
H.S. S.—RECEIVED your LETTER. Have twice advertised. Utterly useless to accept an engagement. Not much success. Nearly four months. No tidings from my friend. This is the worst trouble. Expenses very heavy. Write soon.
