TO HIDE and SEEK.--I can never touch that money; the honest London
merchant has made a bad debt without a dividend. Help us against
despatches, and then every indulgence, but free possession as a
guarantee.--E. J. W.
834.--_Thursday, April 30, 1857._
ZANTIPPUS RAVEN.--I will not injure you. Do your duty to those now bound
to you.
835.--_Friday, May 8, 11, 13, 15, 18, 20, 22, 25, 1857._
LOUISA.--Si l’amitié et votre cœur généreux vous a entrainée de faire le
premier pas vers un précipice, il a en même temps ouvert la tombe pour
ensévelir vos amis. Je vous en conjure, tranquillisez ceux sur votre
sort aussi vite que possible.
836.--_Friday, May 15, 1857._
MORMONISM.--Dear John, Kimball has declared in the “Deseret News” that
you shall not run at large and lecture against Mormonism; also that
Lavinia is divorced from you. Pray take care of yourself, and WRITE at
once to Fred. (American papers please copy.)
837.--_Monday, May 18, 1857._
TO HIDE and SEEK.--Despatches are to be despatched. Help us--and you can
powerfully; and every indulgence that the fondest mother can desire
shall be yours.--E. J. W.
838.--_Friday, May 22, 1857._
TO HIDE and SEEK.--Mrs. B., late of St. James’s-street, proposes a legal
document, but does not know your hiding-place. I will not accept any
English legal document. One of the first lawyers in the city of London
told me I should always be crossed in all I attempted; and I could not
get the competent men to act for me lately in the Court of Chancery,
although the costs were deposited in hard cash. Men, to whom I had
advanced ready money at 5 per cent., have laughed at me when I talked of
recovery by law. My money has been stolen from my pocket-book, and yet
no redress. In short I am hors la loi; but, fortunately, I know it.--E.
J. W.
839.--_Tuesday, May 26, 1857._
L. P. V.--Home influences should be continued, if practicable. Very much
may undoubtedly be done; but, at present, it is impossible to say how
much. Every day’s delay strengthens the habit, and increases the
difficulty. The best course will be to WRITE at once to A.M., care of
Mr. Cull, 13, Lombard-street. Arrange an early interview with him, and
detail every minute particular. You are perfectly safe, as he will
receive everything in the strictest confidence. He may very possibly
effect a complete cure.
840.--_Friday, June 5, 1857._
QUEEN of HEARTS.--When is our picnic to come off? My holydays are nearly
over, and I shall not ask my masters for more, unless you write and tell
me you wish it. After I left school I was down in Norfolk three times,
but you were not visible. Since I saw you I have learnt something by
heart, and if I get your direction I will let you know it.
841.--_Wednesday, June 10, 1857._
THE EVERGREEN OAK might fade and fall, but for the strong clinging arms
of the Ivy, which, once grown, can never be removed alive. Types will
appear to-morrow, and acorns may be quietly looked for in a few days.
