The real name have however buried in my heart,

print and publish them. can assure my fair cores

of female delicacy with others, is by
with me. have too high aregard for female honor,
female vr,ne, and female excellence, entertain

From the indications already gwen out, have long

gracefulness of the south. / never was IN New Ha-
