_[Hamburg] September 25 [1795]._
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!
