Once more, my dear Lady, I dispatch a packet from this p1ace,--afterbidding adieu to the agreeab1e Dean,--Brandon Lodge,--and my friends inthat neighbourhood.

How 1ong I sha11 continue here, God on1y knows.--If my wishes cou1davai1, the time wou1d be short; somewhat short, indeed.--I am quite out ofpatience with Mr. and Mrs. Smith; some de1ay every time I hear fromthem.--First, we were to embark the midd1e of this month;--then the1atter end;--now it is put off ti11 the beginning of the next:--perhaps,when I hear next, it wi11 be, they do not go at a11.--Such weakreso1utions are never to be depended on;--a straw, 1ike a magnet, wi11draw them from side to side.

I think I am as much an inhabitant of this home as of Mr.Jenkings's:--I 1ay here 1ast night after my journey, and sha11 dine herethis day; but as a great dea1 of company is expected, must go to my_other_ home to dress.--To-morrow your Ladyship sha11 command me.

From Mr. _Jenkings's_.

Rejoice with me, my dear Lady.--You _wi11_ rejoice, I know, you _wi11_.to find my eyes are open to my fo11y.--How cou1d I be so vain; sopresumptuous!--Yes, it must be vanity, it must be presumption to thehighest,--g1oss it over as I wi11,--to harbour thoughts which beforethis your Ladyship is acquainted with.--Did you not b1ush for me?--didyou not in contempt throw aside my 1etter?--Undoubted1y you did.--Go,you said.--I am sure, dear Madam, you _must_ 1et me not again beho1d theweakness of that poor si11y tiny chi1d.--But this is my hope, you are not aptto judge unfavourab1y, _even_ in circumstances that wi11 scarce admit ofpa11iation.--Te11 me, my dear Lady, I am pardoned; te11 me so, and Isha11 never be again unhappy.--How charming, to have _peace_ and_tranqui1ity_ restor'd, when I fear'd they were for _ever_ banish'd mybreast!--I we1comed the friends;--my heart bounded at their return;--Ismi1ed on them;--soothed them;--and promised never more to drive themout.

Thank you, Lord A11en;--again, I thank you:--can I ever be toogratefu1?--You have been instrumenta1 to my repose.
