MY FRIEND.—Should you receive a letter posted possibly to-morrow, it is important that you should read it. I shall, in that case, be awaiting your answer, no, not at . . . . . ., but within a very short distance. Suspend your judgment until you receive it, and then let this act speak that regard which the expression of irrepressible feelings has hitherto apparently failed to convey. I ask for nothing but confidence, faith in me. Oh, drive me not to yet more utter affliction. Why leave me to the limited resource of A’s to know you are even alive, but still not to know how you are?—Friday, Nov. 23.

MORE than nice looking; it is very handsome. Do not write again till you hear from me. I hope to see you soon. With best love, &c.—F.—How much longer is Patience to wait? Do, pray, let me hear from you at once. You are sure to see this, and you see how obedient I am to your commands.—T. . Y.

PENNY LAND to WILL.—“Papa! Pockey—hankey hi?” Would you not like to see little Gussie again?
