Henry Wellesley for his most kind and &C.
nervous offer to take home wretch, who has
SO much injured him. I dare not write TO
him myself; but impiore it OF you To say
every thing which gratitude and feeling can
suggest, to express my sense of the kindns<x
OF his conduct. His note was forwarded to
me this morning; but, degraded and unprin-
cipled as must appear in the eyes of every,
body, believe me l am not lost to all sense of
honor. which would forbid my returning to
husband have quilted, to children I have
abandoned. Indeed, indeed, my dear Mr.
Arbuthnot, If you knew all. you would pity
more than blame me. Could YOU tell all the
resistance that has been made to this crimi-
nal. most atrocious attachment, could you
know what arc my sufferings at this moment,
you would feel for me. Henry has not de-
served this of me. We have had some diff
ferences, and he may perhaps sometimes
have been little too harsh to me but l can
with truth assert-and wish you To publish
it to the world, that in essential, and indeed
in trifling subjects-he has ever been kind
to me in the greatest degree nor has the
person who may be supposed TO have at
tempted to lower him in my estimation, in
order to gain my affections, ever spoke of him
to me but in the highest terms of respect.
About my dear. dear children, must say
one word. Doyou think dare hope, by any
remote or indirect means, to hear sometimes
of them? You know how much love them
\ GU are aware OF their merits, and what
must feel at having quilted them but have
the satisfaction, the inexpressible comfort of
knowing they will be taken care of by their
father, though their mother has abandoned
them. My dear little Henry and Charles

Since writing the enclosed, have come
to town, and if it is not rcpugnant to your
feelings, think should like to have one in

me instantly, if you will sec me but if not,
ask no questions"

that of her children, he would consent to re-
