1306.—Monday, January 5, 1863.

NIL DESPERANDUM.—Pray WRITE immediately, and tell me what H—r said, and what you answered or promised. You tell me nothing. What you ask is impossible. I told you I could not come again in the way you propose. If you wish it as much as I do, it must be the old plan. Write. I am worse than you are. Settle something. What a bore hats are.

1307.—Thursday, January 8, 1863.

SMALL HOUSE—Danger. Cross the sea.

1308.—Friday, January 9, 1863.

NIL DESPERANDUM.—If your feelings are what you describe, why do you not WRITE oftener or arrange something? What must mine be? Do next Monday what you did last Monday. A happy new year to you! It rests with yourself.

1309.—Friday, January 16, 1863.

NIL DESPERANDUM.—Thank you. How can you think they bore me? I will be there according to your appointment, but hope to see you before if possible.

1310.—Wednesday, January 21, 1863.
