you must try to show CONSERVATION in your
cOuntenance life is the stake you will be acting
for. No doubt you will be asked a great many
questions you must not be eager in your replies,
but rather reluctant. If you are asked what mo-
tive you had to do this, you must anS,oer that
your mother acas gerry cross to you that she
1Cili0 to let your husband haze gentemen's COM
pany, 6ut ,CouId not oNoU you to hare ladies'
company at the house, and you got so that you
hated her for 1t; and you thought that II she aoas
dead you could rent the house, and zoe could live
and be happy. Camilla, the reason 1 want
you to write the confession twice, is this: wish
you to put in your bosom; then if you feel that
you cannot tell this theory, why after ask YOU il
you don't know in your own heart that was
asleep, and you answer Eyes, and ask you to
tell what you know about it, you can, after little
hesitation open your dress and hand the written
confession If you are asked why you wrote that,

be found, and toould clear up your husbond'S
character.' If asked if you did not intend to
make it known before your husbands death, an
swer ''No. - Question, ''Why?' Answer. "YOu
thought you ,could not be believed. - You must
write nothing but the confession, and that in your
own language. If you can tell it should prefer it.
Now, dear Camilla, have done all that can;
in my cell the next time you bring either life or
death with you. Remember, this 1 know, from
the very best authority, will save my life II did
| not know this, would not ask you to do it, Ca
milla, how would you feel to let me die this way
| without making this effort; would you not blame
yourself all your life If die this awful DEATH
| you never can be happy. Save, oh! save me from
this horrible, horrible death; you can do it, and
| no one else can. If your courage should grow
| weak, think of this and be strong. Don't forget
to act as have told you; you must see the neces-
sity Of acting-your own good sense will show you
| that. have been urged by many persons to ask
| you If you knew anything about it,; they all
think you would deny it If you did, but you would
| show it in your manner, so you see the need OF
acting Please to study this well, and be pre-
pared for Monday morning. Idare not leave it
| any longer. There will only be nine days, then.
You will have to leave the city. The people would
| tear you in pieces, if you went out. The best
| place to co. Think would be either to Baltimore
| or to New York. Change your name Pack your
| trunk so as to be ready to leave at a moments
| notice. You can send word to Mr.. Brnghurst
where you are and what your name is, in case you
| should be wanted. You must always stick to this
confession You must not breathe to any one that we
| are in communication, or that you have any idea
of doing this. Not even to Mr.. Bringhurst or any
body else under Heaven, or it will kill me. If Mr.
Perkins should tell you that you must tell this to
any one else, you must do it, and if the Governor
| should send for you, you must go. If you should
be asked if you are not sorry your mother is dead
you must say no, the reason Of this is the world
| thinks you are a very cold hearted person, and
you must keep up this idea now. And now, dear
Camilla, study this well, and do Just as l have told
| you and you give me life fail, and it is death ;
| don't FORGET that the next time Won me- voy,
