CHATELAINE.--Why have you not written again? If you direct as your last,
the LETTER will be forwarded. Grandpapa has been very ill in town, and
consequently unable to comply with your request.
298.--_Thursday, January 22, 1852._
HUKKY BOY CHARLIE CALL ME FOOL--me cane. Lizzy, pray come home. Your
husband and sisters are reconciled. All is arranged. One of your sisters

LIZZY.--Your LETTER is RECEIVED. I am at Notting-Hill, waiting to see
you. Pray, for the sake of all that’s dear to you, come to me, or I
will come to you. Write at once, as I cannot return home till I have
seen you. All are friends. All is secret as yet. Much has been effected
for your comfort.

TO F. D. N., Glasgow, February 16th, 1852.--“The _Times_ is the
Jefferies of the Press.” Beta, box 318, Post-office, Bristol.

CIRCUMSPICE.--Box-moor, Herts.--E. W.

R----. Thank you for the INFORMATION given a few months ago, respecting
the letters sent to P . . . . . r. Write by to-morrow’s post, please.
Fear not.--London-wall. Tom. Try to understand this mystery, 10.
312.--_Tuesday, March 9, 1852._
TO EQUATOR.--Circumspice.--Your great ship, the Christopher Columbus,
when laden with indigo, opium, or the most costly merchandise of the
East, never contained so much wealth as stands on that said hill.--E. W.
313.--_Wednesday, March 10, 1852._
INDIGO BLUE.--Where and how shall I send my address? I, too, have grown
cautious at last. Are you as entirely ignorant as you seem? Be candid
and careful as to this.
314.--_Thursday, March 11, 1852._
NOT to EQUATOR.--You might have saved yourself the trouble, and been the
richer by 5_s._ Tom is sure to go to the wall without your telling him.
The Ten is particularly happy, the chances being 10 to 1 that he will
cross Earth’s central line, and then, being as invulnerable as Achilles,
he will have nothing to fear. Tom will understand this mystery without
trying.--E. W.
315.--_Friday, March 12, 1852._
AU SIMULACRE.--You have only precipitated your friends into the abyss of
destruction. Ou pardonne à ceux que l’on méprise.--E. W.
316.--_Friday, March 12, 1852._
INDIGO BLUE.--Was I to say that my mind had not formed an idea of you,
candour would indeed be wronged; but diffidence arises when I put this
question; what claim have I to such kindness? Please send your address
by letter to Alexis, Post-office, Chester; and, in order that the
exchange may be mutual, my card will await you at the Post-office,
Clifton, near Bristol.
317.--_Monday, March 15, 1852._
E. W.--What have I done to call forth such cruel remarks? Let me entreat
you to favour me with some EXPLANATION. Enemies shall not long triumph
over us if you will only join me in this declaration. Do not despair, or
on any account give place to the dishonour of foes. In so far as I am
concerned the matter has been confined to myself.--A. B. C.
318.--_Monday, March 15, 1852._
TO MY BELOVED EQUATOR.--When I visited the Great Exhibition I fancied
Hampden, though refreshed with the living water from the Crystal
Fountain, frowned at me; I hope our great countryman is now convinced we
have not degenerated, and that his impersonation has resumed its
accustomed serenity. Ce n’est que le premier pas qui coute, c’est fait;
et c’en est fait d’eux. Vous voyez, la Providence n’est pas toujours
avec les forts bataillons.--E. W.
319.--_Tuesday, March 16, 1852._
HONEST, HONEST ALEXIS! What a strange coincidence! Remove the last
syllable, and there was, once, a great man, one of the self-constituted,
sacred race, known by that cognomen, whom I,--for which, of course, I
shall never be forgiven,--transformed--as I intend to serve many
more--into a city spectre. Honest, honest Alexis! may that never be your
fate. Candour would then indeed be wronged.--E. W.
320.--_Thursday, March 18, 1852._
E. W. by TELEGRAPH.--What are you alluding to? SEND YOUR ADDRESS. Direct
immediately. I was much disappointed at not receiving it on Saturday,
and have been in the greatest agony ever since. You are freely forgiven;
extend your mercy to Alexis.
321.--_Friday, March 19, 1852._
I AM COME. I will wait but this day and to-morrow. Remember, “Now or
never.”
322.--_Friday, March 19, 1852._
TO CHARYBDIS.--AGRICOLAE FILIUS WAITS.--Aut Terrae filius aut Fortunae

323.--_Friday, March 19, 1852._
WHAT AM I ALLUDING TO? The Customs. You will only deceive the
superficial fools of the nation--Alexis. A. B. C. & Telegraph being
Siamese twins, the answer given to Alexis will do for the lot.--E. W.
324.--_Saturday, March 20, 1852._
DOOR-MAT and BEANS TO-NIGHT.
325.--_Tuesday, March 23, 1852._
E. W.--Author of anonymous correspondence, look at home. Conscience does
not accuse me of even attempting to deceive. You have, however, been
playing the game of deception for several years, until, judging from
your exasperated feelings, you are at last tired that your bait has not
taken. Have you a conscience? This is doubted by some, whilst others
think that you have, but that it dwells far beneath its usual seat.
Alexis bids you farewell.
326.--_Friday, March 26, 1852._
IT IS THE MAN--Yes, it is the man.
327.--_Wednesday, March 31, 1852._
OUI, je suis le serpent nourri dans votre sein; mais, pour le bien et
peut être pour le bonheur de mon pays, et, quoique vous soyez de la race
sacrée, il faut bien vous en souvenir, que mon sang ne soit pas l’eau de

DOUBTFUL PRINCIPLES.--I entreat you to WRITE me the REAL TRUTH, or
disgrace must fall on all here. I can bear no more.

333.--_Tuesday, April 27, 1852._
DOUBTFUL Principles.--I by no means acknowledge this title. It is too
bad of you. You are evidently laying to my charge things which I know
not, and are crucifying me for the machinations of others. Where may I
ADDRESS a Letter?
334.--_Thursday, April 29, 1852._

TUESDAY.--Quite correct. Quietly wrapt up in mystery and silk. I have
seen it before mixed with others of different colour. One of the two
letters you address answers the question of initials. Homage to the
truth, to discretion.

satisfactory account will be given you of everything.
339.--_Thursday, May 13, 1852._
EIGHTH MAY.--You are not despised--quite the contrary.
340.--_Friday, May 14, 1852._
EIGHTH MAY.--I feel delighted, and shall get mad with joy. Pray do

AT SUCH an HOUR--at SUCH a PLACE. I cannot appoint until after the 20th.
343.--_Monday, May 17, 1852._
EIGHTH MAY.--The advertisement under this head on the 15th is not
inserted by the same party as that of the 14th.
344.--_Monday, May 17, 1852._
EIGHTH MAY.--Remember my request of the 14th May. Say no more. Don’t
heed other persons’ advices or devices.
345.--_Wednesday, May 19, 1852._
C. J.--Look for the third in my name. It is difficult for me to
communicate through the medium of a newspaper. “Sincere Regard,”
exquisite taste, but apparently no faith. I am not ungrateful. I only
wish for your ADDRESS by to-morrow’s post.--J. 1851 to 1852.
346.--_Thursday, May 20-31, 1852._
AT SUCH an HOUR, at such a place, on Friday, the 21st, at 7 o’clock in
the morning.

asked of an individual under the initials W. S. If by this time you have
only learned to extend kindness to another, instead of cruelty to me, I
shall rest content, as some good will then have been derived.

Hope is the greatest consolation. Time alone will set all right. Keep up
spirits for the sake of the ever-devoted one.--London, June 19, 1852.
356.--_Wednesday, June 23, 1852._

E. A. S.--Nowley Rowley 4th and 7th.--July 3-22, Received.--The boat was

19, Clifford Street, Bond Street. Hall and Exhibition. I wish to see
you.
359.--_Tuesday, June 29, 1852._
YOUR GOOD FRIEND regrets the step you have taken. Can it not be recalled
till an explanation be given? Your honour and happiness are most
sincerely desired. Quant à moi, j’ai tout perdu par vous, je resterais
content si c’étoit pour vous, mais cette satisfaction m’est refusée.
Santé, biens, bonheur, touts departis. Soyez heureux. Bonne foi.

is and ever will be faithful. Courage.
362.--_Monday, July 5, 1852._
WHERE the Teuton intermixes with the slave, and three of Neptune’s great
European tributaries have their source, and also vile man is restored by
the revivifying powers of nature; there, clothed in humility, sits
beauty enshrined in youthful loveliness. La fin ou la lutte--à toi
toujours.--E. J. W.
363.--_Monday, July 5, 1852._
BOCAJ.--All’s well! Every day lessens the dreadful separation. Being
obliged to agree with two dear tried friends, who saw the last, no other
communication can appear, but future benefit will fully repay the
present very great loss. Time and silence cannot part such faithfully
attached hearts. Farewell! Keep up spirits for the sake of the
ever-devoted one. All must end prosperously. July 3, 1852.
364.--_Tuesday, July 6, 1852._
K. W.--I am not changed. Why so unkind as to think so? But may not time
and absence lead you to forget, beset as you will be by trials and
temptations? Can you resolve to resist them? To remain firm and faithful
to the end? Forget not past dangers. Have confidence in the future.
Endure for a short time longer. Be cheerful; be happy; and be sure of
the constant devotion of one who doats on you.
365.--_Wednesday, July 7, 1852._
WONDERFUL! Thy star in conjunction with mine against the great globe
itself! nor Afric’s poisonous vapours, nor Asia’s caloric, nor America’s
life-absorbing ether, nor Europa’s invigorating breezes--fortune’s
sycophants, nor adversity’s treason--shall ever loose those sharp hooks
of steel with which I clasp thee to my heart;--France’s terpsichorean
votary, Rome’s javelined gladiator, and London’s belted champion, were
never lighter of foot, nor stronger of nerve, than Fortune’s spoilt and
favourite child.--E. J. W.
366.--_Friday, July 16, 1852._
IF the Writer is not mistaken, a certain party has been, is being, and
will continue to be trifled with by others, so long as absence is
preferred to presence.
367.--_Friday, July 16, 1852._
K. W.--How is it NO COMMUNICATION is received from Quebec upon points
respecting which candour and openness were entreated, that no mistake
might hereafter occur? You are besought to let nothing stand in the way
of such an explanation. Let it be full, unreserved, sincere--and be sure
the future must be happier to all parties by its being so. Conceal
nothing. Express your wishes distinctly--fearlessly. Do not suffer those
you love to act in the dark. If changed in any respect, hesitate not to
say so. God bless you. Write as before.
368.--_Monday, July 19, 1852._
ABSENCE is NOT PREFERRED to PRESENCE. No, no. But I must know positively
if this is from you. Then I should be only too glad to tell all
immediately.
369.--_Monday, July 19, 1852._
NO CHANGE has TAKEN PLACE.--All that has been hitherto attempted has
been with the view to furnish you with full particulars and a distinct
account of position and prospects, but it can only be done personally.
Adopt the means which have hitherto failed once more, and you shall be
put in possession of all you desire to know. Soyez heureux, and hold
fast the faith.--Wonderful--fragile not frail.
370.--_Wednesday, July 21, 1852._
ABSENCE--Presence.--The advertisement of the 16th (but no subsequent
one, mark this) was from G., who has had more reasons than one for
discontinuing a distant correspondence, on which no reliance could be
placed, when a nearer one was without effect. He is sure you do not know
all. The truth has been sacrificed; he does not say by whom, but not by
him. To this mode of correspondence he bids adieu.
371.--_Wednesday, July 21, 1852._
K. K.--The welcome LETTER is at last RECEIVED. Let similar ones follow,
but with more information, as promised and not sent. Be assured on the
subject about which you are anxious. Be patient; and above all things be
faithful to the deep trust reposed in you, and the reward you hope for
will surely follow. The attendant is going there (B--n), and will serve
the party you desire if possible. Have unlimited confidence on that
party’s good wishes to you.
372.--_Saturday, July 24, 1852._
TO the COUNTERFEIT.--Continue, and fill the coffers of this leviathan.
Like the statue wanting at the celebrated banquet, though absent, I am
all the more present.--E. J. W.
373.--_Friday, July 30, 1852._
X. K.--Yes, it does; but not the same party. You have seen other
friends, but do not tell me.

arise, it is because the interest felt is deep. Forgive, and--forget
not.--Haste.

IT is enough: one man alone upon earth have I found noble. Away from me

millions--empires--could not have bought, but which a single word,
trustfully and nobly spoken, might have made your own to all eternity.
Yet are you forgiven; depart in peace; I rest in my Redeemer.

TO MY BELOVED EQUATOR.--Circumspice. Praeteren censco, Carthaginem esse
delendam. Serve the Queen; be just, and fear not; let all the ends thou
aim’st at be thy country’s, thy God’s, and truth’s--then if thou
fall’st, thou fall’st a blessed martyr. My country, my beloved country,
nothing but my country.--E. J. W.

LEB’ WOHL! To the pearl of the great eastern sea, the blue-eyed maid of
Israel, who keeps watch near the impassable gate of dreary Scandinavia,
you cost one great man his place, and will also cost a great many more
their place--Leb’ Wohl!--E. J. W.
389.--_Tuesday, October 26, 1852._
TO my beloved EQUATOR.--Circumspice. Ungrateful Paris is dead; noble
Achilles resuscitated, and no longer vulnerable, even in his heel, sits
astride the Equator, and bids defiance, even on his own element, to
great Neptune himself. On to the State affairs. “Domine, dirige
nos.”--E. J. W.

FLYBYNIGHT WANTS the ANCHOR. It was expected all last week, and will be
every night this week. Come or write. Silence added to absence is a
cruel and unnecessary torture.

MY STAR AGAINST the ENTIRE WORLD! Neither the golden mountain nor the
choicest beauty of Circassia shall ever sway my allegiance to my
country. Richelieu. The pillars of corruption shall fall.--E. J. W.
396.--_Wednesday, November 10, 1852._
FLYBYNIGHT WANTS the ANCHOR.--My dearest friend, you have solved this
problem wrongly, and are like Sisogenes, who made the error in the
Julian Calendar, which led to very ridiculous results. I will now play
Pope Gregory the 13th with you and set you right. Pride clothed in
humility was merely a means to an end--the reintegration of outraged
justice and the re-adjustment of her scales--and that end will be
accomplished.--E. J. W.
