of which came on Saturday by the Post and which
she wrote last I should not have received or not have done any
thing in consequence of his first.
After the conversation I had with W. on Thursday night, deleted text
it ran in my head so strongly that he was thinking of going off
that in the answer which I wrote the night to Mss W. I what
I now had rather have let alone. I know from her having said that by means of
Mss D's letter she was informed that I
as well as Mss D.&c knew
how desperate his affairs are. I therefore told her without disguise,
tho' without any unfavourable comment, what had passed between him and me on
the of her letter. I thought that might be a means of preparing
her for the event of his going off should it take place:
and that it was better so, than that it should come all at mac upon his lath a clap
of thunder. At the same time I did not give her the most discontent
of my own suspicion: only that I looked upon it as a mother of merstarnty whether she would see him in the Friday so soon as she wished.
I did another thing. I was apprehensive he might have have left her
destitute of money, and thinking there might be nobody in the that she could apply to decently. I sent her a Bank note of £10, giving
reasons and making apologies such as you may imagine. I thought that
if he were to off her salvation might be dreadful: and Mss D. is so far off in home of hostage, that if it would be a long time before
she could get any assistance from her. Luckily I had a
bank by me. All this I made two letters of: one which she would
have to shew to W. of course: and another which I told her she might shew
to him or not as she thought proper. I saw circumstances in all
this as you may imagine: but they sound less true than the mischiefs
which I dreaded. I took that opportunity of sending her my practical
truth.
When W. was with me in the Friday morning he gave me a
note as for me which upon looking at I found was designed for you.
You will find it herewith enclosed.
