WATCHER.--All safe. WRITE, and send the letter. Do not be alarmed, as the object of the writers must be to annoy or intimidate you for some purpose of their own. Their malice here is quite harmless. Above all, make no confidant, nor ask any advice. Be patient, and rely upon me. An unexpected absence has caused this delay. For ever ----. 1237.--_Wednesday, February 26, 1862._ FRED.--All right. I sympathize with your pain, but why seek consolation where you cannot find it, and in a way that pains me? WRITE as usual. Trust ever. 1238.--_Saturday, March 8, 1862._ H. S. S.--RECEIVED your LETTER. Have twice advertised. Utterly useless to accept an engagement. Not much success. Nearly four months. No tidings from my friend. This is the worst trouble. Expenses very heavy. Write soon. 1239.--_Thursday, March 13, 1862._ IT was once bare! Should he have taken it? Is the chance gone?--from WATCHER. 1240.--_Friday, March 14, 1862._ WATCHER.--Your long silence has caused me much suffering. Are you ill? I can hardly think so, as you promised to send for me. I anxiously await some reply. 1241.--_Tuesday, March 25, 1862._ CÆSAR J.--The Pilgrim is much distressed at the long silence of his children. Can they not let him hear through his family. When do they return? He is unchanging. Is he forgotten? 1242.--_Wednesday, March 26, 1862._ FRED.--The dog has always been with me and is still. Save anxiety for your health. I am very happy. Your hopes are mine, and I fervently say amen to them. You are dearer than ever so close. 1243.--_Tuesday, April 1, 1862._ REVELATIONS.--19th chapter, 4th verse. England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland into 24 provinces--Genesis, 1st chapter, 27th verse--to each province of districts, 0 to 9, and guilds 0 to 9, the companies 00 to 09, and 10 to 99, common to both. 1244.--_Tuesday, April 29, 1862._ TO R. N.--Wedding Cake. Spanish Knife. Awoke picking up tips of fingers. Is it a sign of my fall from the height which I fain would climb?--H. C. 1245.--_Wednesday, May 7, 1862._ LIKE a SHIP WITHOUT a RUDDER, in apparent calm, she will SINK without aid. Give some sign. 1246.--_Wednesday, May 7, 1862._ A. E. S.--I have not heard from you for a week, and have no idea where you are. N’import--“Where ignorance is bliss,” etc., and Patti is really charming. London, Tuesday. 1247.--_Friday, May 9, 1862._ W.
