K.W.—How is it NO COMMUNICATION is received from Quebec upon points respecting which candour and openness were entreated, that no mistake might hereafter occur? You are besought to let nothing stand in the way of such an explanation. Let it be full, unreserved, sincere—and be sure the future must be happier to all parties by its being so. Conceal nothing. Express your wishes distinctly—fearlessly. Do not suffer those you love to act in the dark. If changed in any respect, hesitate not to say so. God bless you. Write as before.
368.—Monday, July 19, 1852.
ABSENCE is NOT PREFERRED to PRESENCE. No, no. But I must know positively if this is from you. Then I should be only too glad to tell all immediately.
369.—Monday, July 19, 1852.
NO CHANGE has TAKEN PLACE.—All that has been hitherto attempted has been with the view to furnish you with full particulars and a distinct account of position and prospects, but it can only be done personally. Adopt the means which have hitherto failed once more, and you shall be put in possession of all you desire to know. Soyez heureux, and hold fast the faith.—Wonderful—fragile not frail.

ABSENCE—Presence.—The advertisement of the 16th (but no subsequent one, mark this) was from G., who has had more reasons than one for discontinuing a distant correspondence, on which no reliance could be placed, when a nearer one was without effect. He is sure you do not know all. The truth has been sacrificed; he does not say by whom, but not by him. To this mode of correspondence he bids adieu.
