M. D., your COMMUNICATION has been received, and calls for my THANKS and gratitude. I had thought it possible we might have met. Your faithful Friend. 908.--_Friday, November 27, 1857._ Z.--Chanced to see yours to-day. Lameness prevented myself taking it. I was assured it did appear in a different part. Pray forgive me for the neglect of others. A grateful heart is yours. Let me explain personally. I am grieved. 909.--_Saturday, December 5, 1857._ MY dear SISTER,--Pray perform your promise in writing to me. If my proposal had been accepted all would have been well.--MIMI, H. W. Do not delay. 910.--_Tuesday, December 8, 1857._ EZRA.--Oh! WRITE immediately and often. Take care of yourself. Cheer up. All right. Good-night. God bless you, my darling son.--“The Ezras.”--December 5, 1857. 911.--_Monday, December 14, 1857._ MY dear SISTER.--Why not grant my request, and write as you promised? By keeping me in a state of uncertainty all our business is delayed. I have done all in my power. As soon as I have received your letter with the particulars no time shall be lost. If you wish to settle our affairs, the sooner an interview takes place the better.--H. W., December 11. 912.--_Tuesday, December 15, 1857._ M. D.--I am very sorry I missed you, and more so that we cannot meet as suggested. Satisfactory explanations shall be given. 913.--_Tuesday, December 15, 1857._ H. W., February 20, 1854.--Nearly four years’ absence and indifference leaves us both at liberty to act as we please independently of each other.--M. B., Dec. 14, 1857. 914.--_Thursday, December 17, 1857._ THE EZRAS.--LETTER RECEIVED--much joy. Let your whereabouts be speedily communicated to your mother. God bless you.--HELEN. 915.--_Wednesday, December 23, 1857._ CUMMING to PET.--Il y a une LETTRE pour vous--la même adresse. Je vous attends avec beaucoup d’inquietude. Venez bientôt je vous en prie. Votre dévoué. 916.--_Wednesday, December 30, 1857._ M. D.---- No. 31.--It will afford me great pleasure under any circumstances. 917.--_Wednesday, December 30, 1857._ CUMMING to PET.--Quand je vous vois, je vous dirai tout ce que je pense de votre conduite. Ce n’est pas bien de vous. Il y a des lettres pour vous. Toujours fidèle. 918.--_Wednesday, December 30, 1857._ X. CHEOPS.--No, no. Hands off my child. I am no longer bound by the laws of humanity, and had it been a boy, yes; but I will not risk my little gipsey girl amongst the pestilential marshes of Hungary, though there secure against every power.--B. Z. Q., 666.--CYGNE. 919.--_Thursday, December 31, 1857._ X.--CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS. O, no language can describe what I have had to endure in endeavouring to earn an honest living in my dear country. Kicked out of my beautiful native city into the vilest--and now wounded in my dearest affections. I was told it would be so, Alec. Boxmoor on the one hand. Decimals by the right. Eggs by the left. Comprenez-vous? Yes, I did it.--CYGNE.
