---- is still here: he is a lost man.--He really loves his wife, and is
anxious about his children; but his indiscriminate hospitality and social
feelings have given him an inveterate habit of drinking, that destroys his
health, as well as renders his person disgusting.--If his wife had more
sense, or delicacy, she might restrain him: as it is, nothing will save
him.
Yours most truly and affectionately
MARY.
