T. R. C.--The signature to mine, dated August 28, was a mistake, and
must have puzzled you greatly. I am, contrary to my intention,
advertising again, as a new light has broken in upon me. Tell me where
to write, for I must now communicate with you. I think you have acted
very strangely throughout, and unintelligibly. Failing a new address, I
shall use the only one I am sure about. The time has arrived.
Displeased.--Ever your own, E * *.--September 2, 1856. A third letter
awaits you.

JUNE the 8th.--Glorious associations. Mark Tapley in Eden never more
jovial. Despatches may be sent to the Strand, en route for Claudet.
All’s well.

MANCHESTER.--Since my last, a few weeks since, the general central
question has been well nigh settled. Ruatan is, I reckon, to be ceded by
the Britishers. But none of the public documents on the left-central
question can be depended on; and as there’s no applying just now to the
Britishers’ Cabinet (the Court and all vacating), I fear nothing can be
fixed right away. Facts on both sides of the water have, it seems,
unluckily complicated and delayed quite beyond my comprehension the
settlement of this question, and frustrated my own exertions. I guess
you know how all this disturbs the simple notions of the quiet Prairie
settler. Nevertheless, before I order my clipper, and sail away into
distant waters, I mean to indulge my pertinacity of negotiation by
waiting some space for the fixing by the Cabinet here, however this may
eventuate. Guard the settlement, for I hear Kansas has risen. September
17, 1856.
755.--_Friday, September 26, 1856._
TO A. GARDIENNE.--Depuis Lundi déjà les nouvelles de Madrid sont très
bonnes--soyez tranquille. O’Donnell n’est plus qu’un cadavre; son nom
seul appartient à l’histoire.
756.--_Monday, September 29, 1856._
A. GARDIENNE.--J’oublié hier de vous dire que le Général est avec son
aide-de-camp. Vos dépêches de Samedi passé ont été reçus, et nous vous
remercions de cœur. Etes-vous tranquille? Que pourrions nous faire pour
vous? Notre esprit se préoccupe de cette seule pensée.

FROM EMMELIE.--N L M W Z B. I can inquire. All is well.--October 3.
760.--_Thursday, October 9, 1856._
TO EMMELIE.--No 3 has arrived. Many thanks. Saturday it will reach its
destination. Your little sister is quite well. Your news reaches always
in safety. You need be in no anxiety about C. A.--October 8, 1856.
