LETTER II

MR. BELFORD

[IN CONTINUATION.]

The Colonel tells me that he had written to Mr. John Harlowe, by his

servant, 'That they might spare themselves the trouble of debating about

a reconciliation; for that his dear cousin would probably be no more

before they could resolve.'

He asked me after his cousin's means of subsisting; and whether she had

accepted of any favour from me; he was sure, he said, she would not from

you.
