TO the HEART of STONE.--Why torture the victim longer? Bright prospects shine if you meet on the instant. He has been ruined over and over in screening you. It is the last attempt. If you oppose him now, a few days will put it out of his power to do all he desires for you--this is more than can be told. He forgives from his heart, and will never allude to the past. If he has offended, he hopes, alas, to be forgiven. Let him see the child and kiss it. The nurse shall bear the note fixing time and place. Let it be where you now are. 1063.--_Saturday, September 10, 1859._ TO EPSOM.--You are not truly spoken of. When I see you, I will consult with you as to the best way to set matters right. Molehills have been made mountains. I have so much confidence in you I shall never speak or think of the past. Poison against you has been industriously strewed in my path. Forgive. Watch for me at noon. Continue in sight, then I will advance, not otherwise. I know myself too well to intrude. All as you will. 1064.--_Monday, September 12, 1859._ EXCELSIOR. 1065.--_Thursday, September 15, 1859._ EPSOM.--“The Times,” 13th and 14th September instant. On the 13th three--on the 14th two. This is the 19th since----. You can write--I cannot. Your writing will show sincerity, and that the communication was your own. 1066.--_Thursday, September 15, 1859._ EPSOM AGAIN.--I hope you are not labouring under the impression that, by advising as I did, I am changed.--God forbid! Was “My dearest Friend” yours, or is it a mere coincidence? I hope your h----’s fears are groundless. 1067.--_Saturday, September 17, 1859._ MYSTERY.--Present conduct very suspicious to him who knows all. It indicates, also, desire to delude, and exhibits all the past professions to have been for some purpose. Meet as ordinary friends where you now are, or never in this world. No more “delusion.” No more notes such as “I have been much annoyed,” &c. The Martyr can no longer endure such ungenerous petty insult. It out-Herods all. You shall have justice done you so far as unfounded reports go, but the spirits of departed parents and some respect for self as a man demand that I no longer rest under the false accusations of the ----. Farewell. 1068.--_Thursday, September 22, 1859._ TWENTY-FIVE.--Près de toi c’est la vie, loin de toi c’est mourir. Attendre et espérer je t’en conjure. 1069.--_Thursday, September 29, 1859._ WALES.--“RETURN or WRITE immediately.” This done over and over, but all rejected. “All parties immovable.” These absurd words make me doubt “sincerity.” “Very nervous.” Why so? I will never allude to the past, nor think of it. I forgive all, whatever may have been. Ever study wishes. Sent for letters in real name. Never yet a line. Fear not threats. No future tales, whether true or groundless, will annoy me. Your father and mother are better. 1070.--_Friday, September 30, 1859._ ROMANS XII. 9. 1071.--_Monday, October 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 1859._
