HOPE. I like your last very much. How can you doubt me ? I had written to you, but the party you mention thought better of it, and declined to forward it. I am dying to see you, that we may settle matters. I am better than I was, and look forward to happier days. 1282.--_Thursday, October 30, 1862._ X. SILK X. 1283.--_Friday, October 31, 1862._ FIDES (Thought).--No myth, but a neighbouring town, where I shall be detained a little time. I shall be in for a few hours on Monday, and must take my chance of meeting you between 2 and 3 o’clock. Perhaps I may hear from you meantime. Direct to P.O. 1284.--_Saturday, November 1, 1862._ M.

Z.--Je me suis tenu éloigné de----à cause de toi. Ne juge pas mal de mon absence. Les choses que l’on t’a ôté, je les garderai précieusement jusqu’à ce que tu pourras les réclamer. Fais-moi savoir si cette voie-ci de communication me reste toujours ouverte. Ruth, ch. i. vs. 16, 17.--FAITH. 1288.--_Wednesday, November 5, 1862._ BAMBOROUGH--QUITE RIGHT. 1289.--_Wednesday, November 5, 1862._ HOPE.--If you can forgive me for my unkindness, let me know when I can write to you, and communicate my plans. 1290.--_Friday, November 7, 8, 1862._ CANTERBURY.--We are waiting. Come. No questions will be asked. Lots of fun, Nov. 5. Hockham. 1291.--_Tuesday, November 11, 1862._ A. Z.--Je t’aime trop à te juger. Fais comme tu es convenable.

FAITH. 1292.--_Wednesday, November 12, 1862._ A QUIET EVENING and a LITTLE Music. 1293.--_Friday, November 14, 1862._ FIDES (invisible).--All to hand I suppose, indicating initial missing. Thanks. The sleeping partnership affair was known to me some time ago, and I hinted it to your senior, though I could not speak of it. I am glad, though surprised, that you accept it with equanimity. Your liability being limited, however, I hope you will not suffer much, and it cannot be undone now. If you send on Saturday, let it be to same address, I shall be at No. 3 on Monday. Carl has been confined again, but is better: he has received urgent calls from abroad, but he seems as stupidly obstinate as ever he was in his life, and I have little hope of improvement in him. Southampton matters look lively. 1294.--_Saturday, November 15, 1862._ BAMBOROUGH--RECEIVED. 1295.--_Saturday, November 22, 1862._ F. a F.--Off to-day, 17th. Do not U. S. but R.P.R. Return uncertain.
