AFTERNOON, FRIDAY.
DEAR MoLLIR-HiIh heart OVERLOOKING
with WretchednesS, l attempt to write and
beg your pardon for the great Injury l have
done you. Oh, forgive me. have treated
you very indiIerently. That is too soft a
world have acted like q villain. Pardon
me, or ! shall be miserable always Hove
you MOilie, aud your calamity distresses
me more than il l could. bear it all. God
knows could take all your pain aud
misery il could know you were released
from both, aud be much happier than am
now. You have 4 noble, generous heart
that am unworthy OF, but ask il OF you.
am afraid you Ihink loss of me. feel
that deserve your hatred, and think l
have the right feeling. MOllie, employ the
best medical aid at whatever cost, will
foot il it it is twenty times as large as ii is
likely to be. Have the greatest pains
taken to maintain the symmetry ofnny part
OF the limb that may be injured. Do not
neglect to have the necessary pains taken
TO restore the fractured parts to their
former shape, which can be done if strict.
" attended to. Spare no expense. | am
willing TO foot it up. can do more than
what you know of If had my breath free
a spell, and l will get that after while :
mn better security for debt than any
one knows of hereabouts, and my Pa will
sustain me 10 what do, II it costs all be
is worth. and that is right smart in real
estate. HS is not misery. II he knew
your trouble was on ny account, and be
will know, he will not hesitate TO endorse
all do in that direc ion. If could not
meet my promises 10 sUch deserving case
he would do it TOR me. but then can foot
all up in . short time alter am liberated.
II bad fifty Thousand dollars l would
freely give il all to restore you as you was

in beipinE yO1 successfully out of this
difficulty and IN restoring you to health
again. l understand you are gone home
on s., 600 bzil should like to know il |
this is correct, and alsO how you are -
Could not some person come here aud tell
how you are dning7 am miserable.
will take the oath it they will let me, and
! will not break it either. Theu shall
see you, ADD do all for you 10 my power
am gong to Try new adventure With
this letter hope you may get il. There
is an awful piece In the IRteIHgeneer. That
vile scOundreI, the editor, has enlarged or
else some Of his Accomplices; but enter
tain different opinion to what is express
ed by him. that you are not attractive;
you are attractive; yOur very nobleness OF
heart makes you so If nothing else, bot
there is many other thiugs; your personal
appearance sgoOd. hope you may soon
be we'll. ThHt God may bless you as you
need, is the prayer Of your GEoRoE.
Mr.. Dusky is mistaken if he supposes
the Lntstiigeaeer said that the lady to whom
this letter is addressed, was not attractive.
That valuable family journal expressed
decidedly contrary OpiuiOu.
Sir. Dusky says be will "rake the oath ii
they will let him." or course be would
take it. lie has taken 1t before, aud will
ooutiuue to take it just SO long as it suits
his convenience.
