LETTER XLI.

Wednesday.

I inclose you the letter, which you desired me to forward, and I am

tempted very laconically to wish you a good morning—not because I am

angry, or have nothing to say; but to keep down a wounded spirit.—I

shall make every effort to calm my mind—yet a strong conviction seems to

whirl round in the very centre of my brain, which, like the fiat of

fate, emphatically assures me, that grief has a firm hold of my heart.

God bless you!
