Octr 12th

Yesterday died the Field Marschal Prince Gallitzin. He had been
ill for more than two months and given over for a fortnight.

pride will be let down so as for her to oppose with less vehemence
her niece's inclinations: but I for my part have scarcely

More than once have I been upon the point of renouncing
the matter altogether when some new intimation of her
disposition towards me brings me back to my former state
of indecision.
