TO MISS WHARTON.

London September 24, 1823.
I hope, my dearest Amelia, you received the letter this morn-
ing ; the reason I sent it your father was this: I did not choose to
let all the world know I was writing to you. I much regret, my
beloved and adored Mill, that your sister should be so unhappy ;
hut, my Mill, ask me for my life, I grant it; but to give up my
only happiness-.-no, I cannot; and I know my darling Milly is too
affectionate, and laves he Willy too much to allow anything to
shake her. You tell me you are going to send me a box. What is
it to contain ? and that your father will write. lam happy to
say I have had Slong talk with my father to-day ;he has behaved
very kind. I asked him if he had ever spoken to Rumbell, and re-
lated what we had heard down at the bridge. He says he never
mentioned the subject to him; he said he was not so foolish as to
consult all the world about his affairs. He was a little hurt, and
advised me to call on him. I told him Rumbell said I was de-1
pendaat on him; but my father has never had any communica-
tion with Mr. R. As to my dependence, he told Mr. R. quite the
reverse. He considered I was quite independent. I know this will
make you happy. I will call on him. If Ido not come imme-
diately, I will do so in a month, with George, or alone. I cannot
repeat your own words, my blessed Amelia, that I cannot live
without you. You are my all. When we meet again, you will
not; I hope, leave me ; at all evsnts not before you are !Awfully
mine. I have sent you six lemons, some things for curling the hair,
some kisses, and a pair of " jarrettiers." Do endeavour to get me
some place or other to sleep in; you know not how happy you will
make me. I dined yesterday with Mr..lackman ;heis a very good
man I think. I did nut enjoy myself. You, I hope, got
your worsted, &r. quite rate ; the bottle was not broken, I hope.
Pr. y, my love, let me have a letter from you on Saturday ; put it
in the post on Friday night. I hope and trust, my dearest Mill,
you will soon regain your usual lovely looks. With you it is Para-
dise without you—l know nor what it is. Give my compliments
to all ; and believe me, my dearest Mill, your ever devoti•cl and
affectionate W. LRWIS.
The iiris send their love. My father and Mother desire to he re-
meintiered to you. I hope I shall soon hear you have found a room
for ale. The garters will, I hope, suit you; wear them immedi-
ately, and when they are worn out I will give you others.

. I have kissed all the kisses I now send you.
I have sent you some ribbon for your caps. I was at Frank's
this afternoon ; be sent you the lozenges and the pink ribbon; the
lilac ribbon I thought pretty, and I purchased three yards; I hope
it is sufficient. Gon bless my IHlly ; write on Saturday. To-mor-
row afternoon Igo to see Mr. Clarke's . . . . I did not wish to
go, but my father and mother both wished it. He has always been
so kind to me—of course I must go. i shall return on Friday. Pray
let me have a letter on Saturday morning. lam particular inlet-.
ring you know how I spend my time.—tiou.bless you, my MU"
A Ma Chere et bien Aime.—l venture, my dearest and blessed
Amelia, to offer you the inclosed, it is of no value, but if you are
pleased with it I shall be delighted. You must take the will for the
deed, and accept it as a small gage d'atuour sincere et fidel.' It will
only convince you that, when you are absent, I always think of you.
I trust the time is not far distant when I shall be able to give you
more solid proofs of my devoted attachment. Be assured that to
gratify your every wish will be the constant study of your affec-
tionate and devoted W. O. T. LEWIS.

To Miss Wmartzon, Warborough, near Sbillingford, Ozon.

London, Nov. 13, 182.3.
If I could steal one kiss from my dearest and blessed, it would 1
make me happy. I know not your worth till you are

girl, as long as I could, and could only say, " Bless my
When I went to bed last night I was miserable. I got up and
put on the ring that my Milly gave me ; it seemed to afford
me some consolation. I had little or no sleep. I found
your little note; it made me—l know not how I felt. Amelia,
always think of meat night. But why shuold I tell you this? you
always think of me. 1 saw Mrs. H. W. she will write to you.. I
You write me a long letter; put it in the post on-Sunday, and I
shall have it on Monday. I hope Mrs. W. is better; and you, my
love, are better, I trust. lam wild. When I left you at the
bridge I was miserable, but now lam worse. I shall never cease
to love you—no, my Milly ; you are mine, and on you depeuds
my existence. When I lose your love (but that can never be), I
cannot survive. I hope your father is returned; if not, no doubt
he will do so to-morrow. My mother and sister are (lake well. I
think I must come down to you, for I ant very, very unhappy
without you. I would go to Stiff, but I ant afraid. Amelia, my
love, look over the list of your outfit, and see if you can curtail it.
I never will leave you. The greatest pride of nty heart would be
to possess you ; but to know that I possess your affection ought to
make me happy. I hope, my Milky, you will experience every
happiness I can wish you. I will not forget your boots. Your
ring is mended, and I will send it to you when I have an opportu-
nity. I must conclude, my !dilly, for I am truly wretched, and
scarcely able to write. My sister sends her love to you, as well as
my father and mother. Pray accept my love and many X from
your affectionate and unhappy WILLIAM LEWIS.
Remember me to Mr. and Mrs. Jones, and Mr. W. and your
father. Whatever may occur, you be firm, and I will, and we
must triumph. GOD bless you.
I wish I was coming down to Warborough. I hope the time
will come—perhaps you will come to town to live. Farewell.
Goo bless you.
