Chapter LXIV: Letter LXIII: Aug. 9

Five of your letters have been sent after me from ——. One, dated the 14th of July, was written in a style which I may have merited, but did not expect from you. However this is not a time to reply to it, except to assure you that you shall not be tormented with any more complaints. I am disgusted with myself for having so long importuned you with my affection.——

My child is very well. We shall soon meet, to part no more, I hope—I mean, I and my girl. I shall wait with some degree of anxiety till I am informed how your affairs terminate.

Yours sincerely
