is useless for you to embark. Ever
since the beginning Of this negotiation
I have had opportunities to appreciate
Miss Jenny's qualities; have unveiled
my heart to her. and notwithstanding
her sincere esteem for you, she gives me
the preference, seeing as how am her
near neighbor, and you are separated
from her by the broad Atlantic. We are
to be married at midnight. ban
