Chapter CIX: Letter XCVI: Leonora to Her Mother

DEAR MOTHER, L---- Castle.

This moment an express from General B----. Mr. L---- is dangerously ill at Yarmouth--a fever, brought on by the agitation of his mind. How unjust I have been! Forget all I said in my last. I write in the utmost haste--just setting out for Yarmouth. I hope to be there to-morrow.

Your affectionate

LEONORA L----.

I open this to enclose the general’s letter, which will explain every thing.
