and, if myself personally or others of the family who have been wronged?
Initials, and I’ll seek no more. Address, General P. O., Clapham.
1159.--_Friday, March 1, April 1, 1861._
Αναγη.--I cannot thank you enough for keeping your promise. F. S. and
leaving in C., return to B., completing their service. There is no
personal news, except that, through delay in receipt of letter from
consulate, I am unable to return and enter de T. How little you know of
that morning’s history--the intense effort required not to involve some
one very dear--it would have been ruinous; and yet how much I would risk
if necessary--I do not, shall not forget. Reconsider what are
circumstances to a will like yours! Pray WRITE, if only once more.
January 15.--I have just seen an obituary notice--how sad, sudden,
unexpected! How much I wish I could be of some service to you!--Your
ever, T.
1160.--_Friday, March 15, 1861._
A. B. C.--This is the first time. The value and importance of the
matters in question are overestimated, but act justly. The name (three
words) appears several times.
1161.--_Thursday, March 28, 1861._
STOOPUMS.--Shall be in town on Friday, leave on Sunday. WRITE to old
lodgings what time “Pomp” on Saturday must see you. IDIOT.
1162.--_Friday, March 29, 1861._

and will do all for the best. You are, and always will be, my first
thought. I have now received three letters from you, viz.;--13th

JOLLY to RUMMY.--Please give me a right understanding, as I am in a fix,
and I will answer you in return.

ALL RIGHT, my own darling E.--April 16.
1168.--_Wednesday, May 1, 1861._
ORION’S BOAT.--No writing. I will see you.
1169.--_Wednesday, May 1, 1861._
TO the ONE WHO CAN UNDERSTAND.--You cannot, I am sure, now fail in your
promise voluntarily given. I pray you to let this painful suspense end,
and accounts come as before. R. has returned to remain. Let this appeal
be sufficient.
1170.--_Wednesday, May 8, 1861._
TOM CAT.--A Boy on the 2nd May, in Paris.--Pray write to B., who is now
free! He waits to tell you all. Direct under cover to J. R. S. You may

BEAULIEU.--Received.--Ps. xx., 3, 4.
1172.--_Wednesday, May 22, 1861._
TOM CAT.--Another letter has been SENT to Bruxelles, poste restante. An
interview in pure and sincere friendship is all that is asked, at any
time and place you may name. Do not delay, it is of vital importance to
me, and much so to you. Depend upon your own wishes being carried
out.--B.
1173.--_Monday, May 27, 1861._
ORION’S BOAT.--Wait for me. E. Y. 2. You mistook.
1174.--_Tuesday, May 28, 1861._
R. S. P., Water Colourer.
1175.--_Saturday, June 1, 1861._
A FAINT HEART NEVER WINS a FAIR LADY. The ANONYMOUS CORRESPONDENT whose
letter was posted in Lombard Street, on Thursday last, is requested to
be MORE EXPLICIT. R. sticks to his craft, and will persevere when he
sees his way. Address, Post-office, Vigo-street, Regent-street.
1176.--_Tuesday, June 11, 1861._
BRIDGEWATER.--I am horrified at what I have discovered. If possible let
me know the worst.
1177.--_Tuesday, June 18, 19, 1861._
HONEYCOMB.--Please “journey” home end next week. WRITE immediately,

disappoint you, but too uncertain. Letter by first opportunity. Thank
J., to whom I could write? A toi corps et âme.
1188.--_Wednesday, August 14, 1861._
TOM MOORE, No. 1. RECEIVED yours. You write, I will do as you propose.
1189.--_Wednesday, August 21, 1861._
TOM MOORE.--I shall not leave London unless with you. Your letters give
hopes (No. 2).
1190.--_Thursday, August 22, 1861._
STELLA.--Aan, Bala, Na Bud, Ke Ay, Bala, Bud. There is a LETTER for
you.--C. Y.--35, Post-office, G----W.
1191.--_Saturday, August 31, 1861._
TOM MOORE.--YOURS RECEIVED. Thanks. How is T.’s health? Polly’s visit
was a great kindness, and it has allayed a very anxious feeling. B. is a
bachelor (No. 3).
1192.--_Tuesday, September 3, 1861._
TOM MOORE.--B. will be there (4).
1193.--_Tuesday, September 3, 1861._
BLUE ENAMEL CROSS.--I cannot trust W. Letter received. I accept all its
terms. Mine until death. Be patient.
1194.--_Wednesday, September 4, 1861._
L’ESCORT RECEIVED YOURS. However well himself complains of the conduct
of your protégée. He gives him great trouble, and unless you could give
hope for an early “Duncaster” meeting he fears the necessity of applying
for help to Dr. Evans. Having no project he shall not leave S. before
the 15th September.--Scarborough, Sept. 1.
1195.--_Friday, September 6, 1861._
LORELEI.--The Anthropophagous didn’t gobble the partridges.
1196.--_Tuesday, September 10, 1861._

suffered from the eels.
1197.--_Saturday, September 14, 1861._
TOM MOORE--Yours received. Six months is quite right. I think B. had
better see you next week; but if you think otherwise, a small parcel,
containing the writing, shall be left at the Rail, you to call for it as
you pass (5).
1198.--_Tuesday, September 17, 20, 24, 1861._
N. W.--L’Amaro è Molto. Helurchen.
1199.--_Tuesday, September 17, 1861._
TOM MOORE.--B. travels upon the second day named, unless you advise
differently by post. B. can arrange the day to your advice (6).
1200.--_Thursday, September 19, 1861._
WILL you GIVE me a BOA at Brighton. Norwood Junction, 10.30 P.M. Shall
we never meet again? The word to Nina, Post-office, Norwood. S. marked
“M. T.” may reach and console the stranger.
1201.--_Tuesday, September 24, 1861._
C. C. C. I must see you. This place is not what I expected (Plants). I
have a rival (foreign) earning double as much as I do. You heard what
happened to my money and papers in the city. E. W., B’ps Std.,
Herts.--X.
1202.--_Wednesday, September 25, 1861._
TOM MOORE.--INSTRUCTIONS will be WAITING you at the Railway Station, the
Parcel office, when this meets your eye. Still hoping (7).
1203.--_Thursday, September 26, 1861._
TOM MOORE.--You are favoured in your powers, so do persist and
persevere, but judiciously, and the difficulty, we hope, will then
yield, though at a late moment. Most seriously avoid the
alternative--the sacrifice is too great. B. is engaged on Saturday (8).
1204.--_Saturday, September 28, 1861._
TOM MOORE.--This day’s post gives great hopes, is quite encouraging. You
arrange in every way as you deem most prudent. We begin to anticipate
the results of your almost certain success (9).
1205.--_Wednesday, October 2, 1861._
SERPENT--Dove.--Bedford.--Geranium.--Just RECEIVED, FIRST SIGNAL,
unknown to the rest. Write it me, and let me answer you. Quite right so
far. Annie, dear, good-night.--M. T. South Norwood--Glove--size.
1206.--_Tuesday, October 8, 1861._
G. P. L.--Virtue, honour, perseverance, will bring elevation and
deserts, and, it is hoped, forgiveness.--GRIEF.
1207.--_Tuesday, October 8, 1861._
UNCLE TOM.--If you have not already written, pray WRITE, as there is
very much anxiety. You may see B. any day, from 2 till 4, and later if
requisite (1).
1208.--_Thursday, October 10, 1861._
BELLA, St. Mary’s, must see G. H., or hear from them immediately.
Something must be settled before the winter. Bad season. Ill health.
What was suggested will be the best plan to adopt. Make an advance, it
is an effort, but will eventually prove the best for all. Parties
surrounded by enemies. Don’t hesitate. Inevitable ruin is the result.
1209.--_Friday, October 11, 1861._
INFELIX.--Notice of your return vainly expected. Ire. to H. V. 11th,
Spring 15th and Home 18th, unless----. Send your plans directly chez
moi. O. will forward them. Birdie much wanted. Work nearly done.
Esperanza. Addio. Yours, T.
1210.--_Thursday, October 17, 1861._
UNCLE TOM.--Yes, received. We are well. For you we are painfully
anxious. Your happiness is inseparable from our own. Spare nothing to
obtain the one result so important to your future. B. will let you have
anything you require to ensure that. He longs to see you here or there.
Is anything settled in regard to the holydays? Think of the
commencement of this month (2).
1211.--_Monday, November 11, 1861._
PERCY.--Was it not abominable of you? Poor M. was greatly disappointed.
Pity her a little.

EVANGELIST.--Rightly done.--M. O. M.
1215.--_Thursday, November 21, 1861._
WITH remorse and misery beyond telling, I find myself alone. Be
merciful! Pray let me send what money you want, it would be the greatest
consolation. God bless!--C. . .

MY dear HARRY.--Look at our old friend Jupiter, and have faith in your
kind old sister, LIZZY.
1223.--_Tuesday, December 10, 1861._
C. A. G.--Do not send any more till I see you. Fresher than ever. Quite
well. N. S.
1224.--_Tuesday, December 10, 1861._

RECEIVED. The arguments entirely irrelevant to the point in
question.--IGNATIUS POLLAKY.
1226.--_Friday, December 13, 1861._
UNCLE TOM.--Pray WRITE. Is it impossible to get to B. this week? These
disappointments are very sad (3).
1227.--_Thursday, December 19, 1861._
INSOMUCH as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, my brethren,
ye have done it unto me. Thanks--thanks.
1228.--_Friday, January 3, 1862._
FAITH CROWNS ALL; seal Dec. 31, communication received from an “Old
Friend.” An interview or card of address requested. Address as the
last.--J. D.
1229.--_Wednesday, January 8, 1862._
CÆSAR J.--He is very unhappy at having pained others, and, in spite of
all appearances, is loyal and true. The pilgrim is sad and desolate, but
hopes not to be forgotten. Bless her and both children. Revda rof tuo
Kool.
1230.--_Wednesday, January 15, 1862._
0’503, Ad captandum vulgus.--She has arrived, but dangerously ill.
Forgive. You can have the necessary guarantees on applying to Mr.
Pollaky, Private Continental Inquiry-office, 14, George-street, Mansion
House.
1231.--_Tuesday, January 28, 1862._
CÆSAR J.--The absence and silence of his children cause much sorrow to
the pilgrim. He hopes to hear soon. The usual address. Bless them both.
He cannot change.
1232.--_Tuesday, January 28, 1862._
WATCHER.--Dismiss all doubts. No one can supply your place. Absence
strengthens the tie. I look so steadfastly to the future, and approve
all your plans.
1233.--_Wednesday, February 5, 1862._
S----L H----L.--I promise. The 3rd or 10th of March. One there now.--C.,

love. Pray WRITE.
1235.--_Friday, February 14, 1862._
G. O. in D.--Very good for false premises. Try again, but let truth be
your guide. Dublin.
1236.--_Friday, February 14, 1862._
WATCHER.--All safe. WRITE, and send the letter. Do not be alarmed, as
the object of the writers must be to annoy or intimidate you for some
purpose of their own. Their malice here is quite harmless. Above all,
make no confidant, nor ask any advice. Be patient, and rely upon me. An
unexpected absence has caused this delay. For ever ----.
1237.--_Wednesday, February 26, 1862._
FRED.--All right. I sympathize with your pain, but why seek consolation
where you cannot find it, and in a way that pains me? WRITE as usual.
Trust ever.
1238.--_Saturday, March 8, 1862._
H. S. S.--RECEIVED your LETTER. Have twice advertised. Utterly useless
to accept an engagement. Not much success. Nearly four months. No
tidings from my friend. This is the worst trouble. Expenses very heavy.
Write soon.
1239.--_Thursday, March 13, 1862._
IT was once bare! Should he have taken it? Is the chance gone?--from
WATCHER.
1240.--_Friday, March 14, 1862._
WATCHER.--Your long silence has caused me much suffering. Are you ill? I
can hardly think so, as you promised to send for me. I anxiously await
some reply.
1241.--_Tuesday, March 25, 1862._
CÆSAR J.--The Pilgrim is much distressed at the long silence of his
children. Can they not let him hear through his family. When do they
return? He is unchanging. Is he forgotten?
1242.--_Wednesday, March 26, 1862._
FRED.--The dog has always been with me and is still. Save anxiety for
your health. I am very happy. Your hopes are mine, and I fervently say
amen to them. You are dearer than ever so close.
1243.--_Tuesday, April 1, 1862._
REVELATIONS.--19th chapter, 4th verse. England, Scotland, Wales, and

aid. Give some sign.
1246.--_Wednesday, May 7, 1862._

will have reached home. Come to dinner at 7 to-night.
1252.--_Friday, May 16, 1862._
THE NONCE’S DREAM.--RETURN, or you will kill your mother. No one yet
knows your absence, and I have squared everything. Write for any money
you want.--The Monoptic L, and the Artist.

It can probably be done.--C. F.

CHAFFINCH.--January Wife.--Must die unless you go at once home to Garden

right and forgiven.
1255.--_Thursday, July 3, 1862._

je te trouverai à la fin. Je sais à qui je me fie mille fois mieux que
ceux qui ont fait de si vains efforts pour ébranler la confiance que
j’ai en toi. Nous ne deviendrons que plus proche de Dieu et plus chers
l’un à l’autre par suite de toute cette douleur, et je te prie de
n’abandonner jamais ta FAITH.

pas être vrai. Quant à moi, crois seulement que j’ai toujours en toi une

attention à ces histoires; elle sait qu’on ne connait que trop bien
l’espérance de ma vie, et veut se venger en la détruisant; mais j’aime
ma Faith, et vienne que vienne je l’aimerai pour toujours. Allons donc,

la fin.

vieux toit paternal. Je suis fâché qu’une lettre écrite (il y a quelques
semaines) dans une langue étrangère vous n’a pas trouvée, car je n’aime
pas ce mode d’entretien. Mon amitié ne changera jamais, mais je
n’écriverai plus de ce façon.--Ap. 28, N. 6, 13.

HOPE.--The MISSING ONE is RECEIVED. Your two last darlings have done me
good, and I cannot but trust you. My feelings are more intense than
ever. Cast away those presentiments of evil that you tell me about, and
believe me unchanged. Write as often as you can. My wishes fly to unite
with yours.

OFT expectation fails, and most oft there Where most it promises; and
oft it hits, When hope is coldest, and despair most sits.

HOPE. I like your last very much. How can you doubt me ? I had written
to you, but the party you mention thought better of it, and declined to
forward it. I am dying to see you, that we may settle matters. I am
better than I was, and look forward to happier days.

FIDES (Thought).--No myth, but a neighbouring town, where I shall be
detained a little time. I shall be in for a few hours on Monday, and
must take my chance of meeting you between 2 and 3 o’clock. Perhaps I
may hear from you meantime. Direct to P.O.

A. Z.--Je me suis tenu éloigné de----à cause de toi. Ne juge pas mal de
mon absence. Les choses que l’on t’a ôté, je les garderai précieusement
jusqu’à ce que tu pourras les réclamer. Fais-moi savoir si cette voie-ci
de communication me reste toujours ouverte. Ruth, ch. i. vs. 16,
