TO HER ROYAL HIGHNESS THE 'MINCES!.
187 OF WALES.
16(4 No:ember, 1.
" It is on my knees that I write to my generous benefactress,
beseeching her to pardon my boldness, but I cannot resist my
feelings, besides, I ton convinced that if her Royal Highness
knew the frightful stoic into which I um plunged, she would
Lot be oftimded at my temerity. My spirits cannot support
my misfortune ; I ant overwhelmed by it. and lam tno:e than per.
waded I shall sink under it. I feel a dreadful weakness; a mor-
utl inquietude eon:mines me irternally, and I do not feel one
mom.nt sit trantiiiiiiity. A crowd uf redactions on the past good-
ness of tier Royal Highness, and on my apparent ingratitude
overwhelm me. Nlay hei Royal Highness deign to take pity on
site; may she deign to restore me to her precious 'avow. which
1 have unhandy lost by the most deadly imprudence; may I
receive that suit assurance before 1 die of grief; she alone can
restore use to life.
" I dare again to conjure, to supplicate,the clemency and COM-
iwsion of her Royal Highness, that she will grant me the ex-
treme favour of destroying those two fatal letters; to know that
they are in the hands sit her Royal llighuess, and that they will
constantly bear testimony against my past conduct, kills me.—
The avesson which I have merited on Me part of her Royal
Highness, instead of diminishing, would be increased by reathng
them.
I permit myself to assure her Royal Highness, that it is only
the granting of these two favours which can preserve my life, and
restore me to that repose whieh I have lost. My fault, it is
true, is very great and irreparable, but love is blind—how molly
faults has he nut caused the greatest men to commit. I dare flat-
ter my,ell this is a strong reason why her Royal Highness should
coy descend to gritnt me the two favours which I take the liberty
of as:.in•• of her.
" 1 aLow myself to recommend to the favour and protection
of your Royal Highness my sist. r Nlartiott, aol also her who is
in Switzerland. Her Royal Highness gave me to understand
that, perhaps, she might he allowed to supply my place. The
hope alit a alleviated my distress. It would be an act of charity,
for my sisters have only moderate fortunes, and in our small poor
country they are nut to be acquired. I sin certain her Royal
Highness would have no cause to repent her great goodt.ess and
extreme kindness towards a yo.ing girl who has always gained
the esteem and friendship of All to whom she has been personally
known.
" I cannot sofHeiently thank her Royal Highness and the
Baron for their kindness in sending Ferdinand to accompany me;
he has paid me all the attention, and taken all the care of me
imaginub:e; I know not how to acknowledge so many benefits,
and 1 will endeavour by my future conduct to merit them, and
to regain the favourableopinion which her Royal Ilighnesi enter.

" I have the honour to be
