I scut she inclosed to Bryatioone-tquare last 'eight too late
fur you to receive. I now tot weed it to Burderop, in my
great anxie►y to assure you that I wholly acquit you of the
injuries done to me, and in the request I have made for an
explanation, I Laye nu motive but to endeavour to remove
any injuries or false impressions you way hare received.—
After your generous cud liberal conduct towards me, I en.
treat you to believe that I :egret wile than I can express,
that oat nay accont►t you should bare been so usjustifiably at-
tasked, and that iu any (ore► I should be added to the list of
your many vile assailants. Although our acquaintance is to
twist, I 'lenient that by the abrupt interrupt►on of our inti-
macy I hays hoer deftly.' an interview, is which all IleCell •
nary emetics for its termination might have been tuore deli.
cately and more satisfactorily explained. Lest you should
suppose there is any intention on toy part, or that of my fa-
mily, to take the slightest advantage of the proposals you
made to me, I hereby release you from the urief engagement
that existed between us, and therefore hope you will nut
deny me an early answer, dictated by your own unbiassed
feelings. MARIA.
