./.. I. IV.—FROM bIRS. FOOTE TO MIL RAY NE.
Mr Mae San—l yesterday received your letter by a cries post
lierei which occasions annie delay in the exchange of letters; but I
trust you will obtain my answer before you may be induced to ac-
cuse me of inutention to your request; for however I may feel
obliged to excuse myself from a compliance with it, a want of in-

cause. I am most Willing to oblige you in whatever I may and can ;
butfu,this particular I regret I may unt, even could I waive the
old:fashioned omen which is attached to it. I sincerely hope you

During the time that bir. Hayne was waiting for
the close of Covent-garden Theatre, &c. Mr. Foote re-
ceived several letters from him, of which the following
are copies:—

Tuesday, sth May, lBe4.
0, Upper Grosvernor-street.
MT Dun Foom—l have now since Saturday been confined to
my room, owing to my horse falling down with me in o:ford-
street. On the above day, be took fright at the sweeps, tripped up
and tolled upon my leg, which is much hurt and bruised, and knee
so much so I cannot put it to the ground ; and Wadd, my surgeon,
states I shall not be able to put on a boot for some time—hut a
truce to that—truly happy your letter has made me in giving so
favourable an account of Mks Foote. She is never, believe me,
absent from my thoughts one moment, and all the stumbling blocks
that are thrown in the way, and good-natured tbinp stated to poi-
son my mind against her and hers, prove unavailing. In a month
(the long-looked for period) she will, 1 hope,give me her band. and
render me happy—let not anything she may bear detrimental to
me iolluence her. My conduct she has hitherto approved of, and
Oncerely trust she will consider me u one solely devoted to her.
Oh ! that I ccold have one evening's chit-chat with you and your
circle. When do you intend coming up to town? Can Ido any-
thing for you ? Idercati keeps me alive by killing time Isere--
Adieu—kindest (may I say) love to your daughter and her mother.
Your's, very faithfully, &c.

Mr DEAR Fo'iE-My only motive fur now writing is to inform
you (if not already acquainted,) that Colonel IL will arrive in town
on Sunday; he has at% horses on the road with his 'trouts, &oat.
and I draw my conclusion he intends making some stay. I only
pray he may not throw cold water upon Miss Foote's plans, and
that she will not alter them, or her intention of coming to town. I
am aware she can be firm ' • and after the motual understanding I
shall look for her the end of this month, when a decisive answer
will be requisite. lam much better. My best respects and wishes
to your daughter, whom I am rejoiced to hear is so much better,
also to her mother. Believe me, as ever, your's truly,
Friday. J. lIAYNE.
When do you Mumd coming up? Adieu.

and Miss Foote in Bent.

23, Upper Grosvenoratrett, Wednesday morning.
(No. IX.—Received'ast May, 1824.)
Mir ALM FOOTL—Fortune appears to frowsi on me. In perusing
John Ball of yesterday morning, it seems the Managers of Covent
(4arden Theatre are desirous to prolong the usual time, and that the
Manager of the Ilayntarket is going to petition against it. lam
truly triste. I fully anticipated seeing you in town this week, at
the latest the commencement of next. Surely 'Miss Foote is now a
free agent, as she had every reason to expett she could give me a de-
cisive answer to my earnest request by this period. Colonel II; can
boon no motive now in view as regards marriage, which she must
be folly aware of, as well as her nicther atid yourself. Why, therr
should I he kept in this wretched stale of suspense? Hit is to
be. say so ; if not, for Gum's sake let me know. A more sincere ad-
mirer your daughter never had, not onc, I am confident, whose for.
tune and life was so devoted to her. I am free to confess, I cannot
construe her motive in procrastination, and fear to anticipate. if
)os ale determined to remain absent from town till the close of the
season, I have but to deplore it, and arrange my plans accordingly.
compliments to Mrs. and :Hiss Foote.—Relieve me truly yout's.
Mouch.y morning. J. HAY NE.
