LETTER LXXIII

_[London, Nov. 1795] Thursday Afternoon._

Mr. ---- having forgot to desire you to send the things of mine which

were left at the house, I have to request you to let ---- bring them to

----

I shall go this evening to the lodging; so you need not be restrained from

coming here to transact your business.--And, whatever I may think, and

feel--you need not fear that I shall publicly complain--No! If I have any

criterion to judge of right and wrong, I have been most ungenerously

treated: but, wishing now only to hide myself, I shall be silent as the

grave in which I long to forget myself. I shall protect and provide for my

child.--I only mean by this to say, that you have nothing to fear from my

desperation.

Farewel.

MARY.
