659.--_Tuesday, January 1, 1856._ CE 1er JANVIER.--On vous renvoi à aujourd’hui un an le tout de même, hormis le refrain--dont on reconnaît la stupidité! 660.--_Tuesday, January 1, 1856._ SOMMES-NOUS toujours en rapport? Votre silence, nécessité ou volontiers? Depuis la réception des deux numéros, point des nouvelles.--Dec. 31, 1855. 661.--_Tuesday, January 1, 1856._ ALL RIGHT, to the 13th of October. C. is to be found at E., and protection. Murray will do, and possesses. Nos. 1 and 3 doubtful. Still depend confidently on the option William gave you; he will persevere through all. He wishes to hear from you much. Your brother is pretty well; his hope strong, and resolution unfaltering. 662.--_Tuesday, January 1, 1856._ M. D. is most affectionately thanked for kind wishes and kinder advice; but how sad and difficult a task will it prove to follow the latter. A selfish and weak heart has to be controlled, and its very idol to be given up. I will, however, strive as you desire, for I feel that I ought to do thus much at least for a newly found and very dearly beloved relative. 663.--_Wednesday, January 2, 1856._ DAISY feels inexpressibly flattered by Spoonini’s tender inquiries, but having found a more perfect hero in a new company, she begs gratefully to decline any renewal of the old engagement. 664.--_Friday, January 4, 1856._ C. B.--ALL WRONG, and very ill. 665.--_Friday, January 4, 1856._ THE ADMIRAL.--Merci. C’est le couleur de rose. Je suis malheureuse.--Presto. 666.--_Saturday, January 5, 1856._ COULEUR BRUNE et BLEU.--J’ai RECUE tous vos LETTRES. Mille remerciments. Vous trouverez mes nouvelles, comme vous m’indiquez, le Lundi ou Mardi prochain. Mon bonheur dépend de votre tranquillité, de votre santé; soignez-vous, donc, pour celui qui est à vous pour la vie. 667.--_Monday, January 7, 1856._ REACH.--YES. Address, as usual, W. H. C., 1, Long-lane. I mean the metaphors. 668.--_Tuesday, January 8, 1856._ THE ADMIRAL.--Presto.--Je ne veux pas que vous y aller à la Porte St. Martin. Vous la trouverez où je reçois la mienne. Demandez du Domino Noir, ou de la Blonde. J’ai tout commandé. 669.--_Wednesday, January 9, 1856._ THE ADMIRAL.--Do not send Presto to the Dominoes; it will not answer. Send to Porte St. Martin, to the name you first told me. Alas! 670.--_Friday, January 11, 1856._ THE ADMIRAL.--J’ai oublié tout-à-fait de l’envoyer. C’est absolument ma faute. On est fâché. W. W. Lundi--A la Porte St. Martin. J’attendrai la votre. 671.--_Saturday, January 12, 1856._ POETICUS.--Where are you now? 4, 126, 200, 272, 5, 96. Yours have not been received. Be just. TRUTH. 672.--_Tuesday, January 15, 1856._ FRANGIPANI.--Do not doubt me. Numbers 67, 412, 87. You will now comprehend the delay. 673.--_Tuesday, January 15, 1856._ H. B. M.--He that conquers a fault is even more worthy than if he had never erred. With truth and honour for your weapons--hope still.--ROYAL NAVY.
