In all these Cases particularly those in which High Personages are concerned Prudence requires that those who advise should look a little farther than the one Case under consideration. Believe me, Ever Yours Most faithfully WELLINGTON. "By the Duke's next letter I presume I had dated one to him wrongly as he writes: 'I have received and perused with attention your letter dated the 29th, I conclude by mistake, for which I return my best thanks.' "The next letter from the Duke is dated Aug. 31st, below which he again addresses me on Sept. 1st thus. 'Since writing the above my dear Miss J., I have received your letter of the 31st of Aug. There is no post from home today and you will not receive this acknowledgment of its receipt and thanks for it until Monday.' "The next letter from the Duke is dated Sept. 11th in which he writes; 'I am not capable, I am sorry to acknowledge, of entering on a discussion on the topics in your letter'--and in his next of Sept. the 12th he writes; 'I can read your letters perfectly. I wish that I understood the subjects to which they relate sufficiently to be able to answer them.'" WALMER CASTLE, Sept. 15, 1838. MY DEAR MISS J.,--I have just now received two Letters from you, both finished on the 12^th for which I return my thanks. One of them contained the Pen wipers for which I am much obliged to you. The Story in the Newspapers about my having been consulted by the Queen about D^r Hook's Sermon is entirely false. There is no foundation whatever for it. As far as I can Judge from the accounts that I have seen the Queen did not notice D^r Hook's Sermon in any of the Modes supposed and stated. [Endnote 1] I am very much obliged to you for your Enquiries about my lameness. I thank God! I have entirely recovered from it. Believe me Ever Yours most faithfully WELLINGTON. "I need not say it rejoices _me_ to behold _thanks_ given to _Him_ from whom all blessings flow. "A. J. "The Duke's next letter is dated Sept. 16th in which he writes; 'There is no post from the country on Saturday as there is no Delivery in London on Sunday, so you will receive both letters therefore tomorrow, possibly at the same time.' The next from the Duke is dated Sept. 20th in which he writes 'I hope that you will soon recover from your indisposition,' and in that of the 23rd he writes; 'I assure you that I was aware that you had reason to believe that the story respecting the Queen was true.' The Duke means 'was not true' for he had referred to this subject in some letter just passed through my hands. "On Sept. the 25th 1838 the Duke writes to thank me for my letters adding 'But you do not mention your health and I hope that you have entirely recovered from your indisposition.'
