September 25.
I have just finished a letter, to be given in charge to captain ——. In
that I complained of your silence, and expressed my surprise that three
mails should have arrived without bringing a line for me. Since I closed
it, I hear of another, and still no letter.—I am labouring to write
calmly—this silence is a refinement on cruelty. Had captain —— remained
a few days longer, I would have returned with him to England. What have
I to do here? I have repeatedly written to you fully. Do you do the
same—and quickly. Do not leave me in suspense. I have not deserved this
of you. I cannot write my mind is so distressed. Adieu!
