The Anonymous Writer can have no copy of his first Letter. “Ruinous
exposure” are not words in course. He must drop his mask, or forfeit his
self-respect. Having seized upon the judgement-seat, he should know no
rest till he has traced the accusation through all its windings, till he
either by proof establishes, or, in his own person, absolutely acquits
from that “claim” which is most unequivocally denied. Let him “reflect
then.” The wanton cruelty imputed, even in his last letter, would leave
a stain never to be effaced.

“CÆSAR BORGIA.”--Labor improbus omnia vincit. W. L. R. nunc 30. Brompton
row.
48.--_Thursday, May 4, 1826._
I CONSENT to any, every condition, rather than a continuance of this
lengthened--this too justly dreaded--separation.
49.--_Monday, May 8, and May 9, 1826._
I CONSENT to everything that can be suggested to procure a
reconciliation, which I have for a long period anxiously desired.
50.--_Friday, May 12, 1826._
I ENTREAT YOU to KEEP to YOUR WORD, or it may be fatal. Laws were made
to bind the villains of society.
51.--_Monday, May 15, 1826._
COUNTERSIGN.--Letters from me to you are not safe. Depend upon my
secrecy and honour. Fare thee well.
52.--_Tuesday, May 16, 1826._
RESPECTFULLY; Confidence has been betrayed.
53.--_Monday, June 5, 1826._
MEMORANDUM.--Suspicions are unfounded.--Slanders from Hypocrites and
story-tellers ought not to be credited--no unknown circumstance can be
credited.

IF the GENTLEMAN, whose conversation was interrupted a fortnight ago (by
an exclamation of--“Sir, you will lose your handkerchief,” and also by a
carriage driving suddenly into Portland-place), wishes to renew it, he
will find the curiosity that then lay dormant has since been excited,
therefore the information volunteered, if he has not left town, may be
sent to C. D., twopenny post-office, 88, Oxford-street.
55.--_Thursday, September 30, 1830._
TO L----A.--It is impossible to approve or justify the step L----a has
taken. How much unhappiness her conduct has occasioned, and still
occasions, cannot be conceived. All that remains to those whom she has
so deeply afflicted is to lament that any one brought up in a knowledge
of the duties of virtue and religion could ever be induced to depart so
widely from what they enjoin.
56.--_Friday, February 11, 1831._
Z. may make the experiments to which he alludes in his letter in the
presence of H. M. C. without fear of endangering his personal safety.
