DEAREST EMILY
.vo, will readily believe me when

9~o..tcbrd as have been during the last
va DAYS That you aud should be 10
The same house together, aud not able
70 speak to each other, is in itself a mis-
cry, but this is terribly enhanced by the
dread lest this state of things should be
made to continue.
81 want you to understand that do
not in the least suspect You OF having
rs yet done anything wrOng,-or having
even said anything injurious either TO
my position as your husband, or To your
position as my wife. But cannot but
perceive that You are allowing yourself
to be entrapped into an intimacy with
Colonel Osborne, which, it not checked,
will be destructive to my happiness and
your own. After W hat had passed before,
you cannot have thought 1t right To re-
ceive letters from him which l was not
TO see, or to write letters to hun OF
which was not to know the contents.
1t must be manifest to you that sucn
conduct on your parts wrong as Jndgeu
BY any of the rules by which u wlfes
conduct can be measured. AHd yet you
have refused even to say that tins shall
be discontinued : / need hardly ex
plain to you that, if you persist In this
refusal, You and / cannot continue 10
live together as man aud wife. All my
hopes and prospects in life Will DC
blighted by such 4 separation. L nave
not as vet been able 10 think what
should do in such wretched clrcum-
stances. Aud for you, as also for Nora
such u catastrophe would be most la
inevitable. Do, therefore, think OF 1t
well, and write me such letter as may
bring me back to your side.
"There is only one friend in the world
TO whom | could endure to talk OF this
great grief, and have been TO her and
told her everything. You will know
that l mean Lady MilbuIough. After
much difficult conversation l have per-
suaded her TO see you, and she will call
in Curzon Street about twelve. There
can be no kinder hearted, or more gem
tie woman in The world than Lady Mil
borough; nor did any one ever have q
warmer friend than both you and have
in her. Let me implOre you, then, to
listen to her, and be guided by her adj
vice.
pray believe, dearest Emily, that |
am now, as ever, your NEST atfectionate
husband, and that l have no wish 80
strong as that we should not be compel
led to part. :,
