at the beautiful face that lowered
near him, while evidences Of res.

to tell me what induced you to give
your friends in New York the

generosity in that instance, indeed
deserves my profound gratitude,
and ii has convinced me that you
really did care something for me.
But let me leave that subject
for future discussion while | pro-
