YOU LUCKY DOG! You always had your money’s. worth in your mother’s
diary. “When a little farm you keep,” have a “concert of music,” but not
with all the instruments combined, as at your departure, the details of
which were known a week after you wrote to us. You well know how loved
you must ever be by us. Daily we watch for a line, saying you are well
and happy, praying God to bless and preserve you.
1508.--_Monday, December 25, 26, 1865._
CROSS.--All burnt. Happy. Trust tremendously--(signed) ST. ASAPH.
1509.--_Monday, December 25, 1865._
WITHOUT YOU there can be neither; but faith and hope are still of good
courage.
1510.--_Monday, January 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, 1866._
EVER THE SAME.
1511.--_Wednesday, January 3, 1866._
H. to W.--British.--“Star,” “Economist.”
1512.--_Friday, January 5, 1866._
TO the CARPENTER.--Charity which never faileth, can pardon imposition if
undisguisedly confess’d. Jan. 3rd.
1513.--_Friday, January 5, 6, 1866._
CROSS.--Did you get letter safe? Write. Be firm, and don’t forget or
give him up. Absence is hard to bear. Remember the dog days. “Toujours
fidèle.” Nothing could ever change St. Asaph.
1514.--_Thursday, February 1, 1866._
EMPEREUR suffers patiently, but bides his time. Difficulties were made
to be overcome; so cheer up; get well, and right will overcome might.
1515.--_Saturday, February 3, 10, 17, 24, 1866._
COÛTE QUE COÛTE.
1516.--_Saturday, February 3, 1866._
A. L.--The MAN at the Nore.
1517.--_Thursday, February 8, 1866._
CROSS.--Steady. Steady. N’oubliez pas. Great confidence since last
interview. Say “Trivet” to St. A.
1518.--_Friday, February 9, 1866._
CROSS.--Have been round once. Dine at R. with M. to-day (Friday).--St.
A.
1519.--_Saturday, February 10, 1866._
ECCENTRICITY.--Thanks. All safe. Answered same day. Will do all you ask.
Shan’t write at present without further orders. Can’t find any that
wash, but several that require heat. Hope you will not lose your senses
again until next year. I hope not to. Write soon. So dreary. True as
steel. Feb. 8th.
1520.--_Saturday, February 24, 1866._
SECRET.--“Our Corner.”--“11th March, 1863.” Old letters and old
reminiscences bring you back; why drive me to the life I lead? Why have
made me spend such a miserable month, when the present and future are
entirely yours?--“SECRET.”
1521.--_Monday, February 26, 1866._
FELIX.--THANKS. Why the gap and different tone between the sittings?
Jup’s speech to Ch. was strange. Mem. . E. & Co’s remarks. Prospects
improve, needing only B--ie’s cheering trust. Stamps naughty. Please
write; T. waits details which affection and duty dictate. Letters
forwarded.
1522.--_Wednesday, February 28, 1866._
SEMPER VIGILANS. No. 1.
1523.--_Saturday, March 3, 10, 17, 24, 1866._
COÛTE QUE COUTE.
1524.--_Wednesday, March 7, 8, 9, 1866._
TO *******.--“Bless, and curse not.”
1525.--_Thursday, March 8, 1866._
