associate WITH or bear to see your wife associate
with the inane low-minded people who make the
society of Haddington No truly unless you be
an infinitely more tolerant person than have hither-
n taken YOU for-more tolerant than l
sbould like to think you-you would
rather nj once curse God and die. The last pro-
posed arrangement then is out Of the question; for
your sake not less than my own 1t must not De.
For really to slam this door in the face OF people
whom il has been open to from my childhood up

have never behaved but civlliy and often even
kindly to me- would be such an assertion OF the
human mind as | confess | have not yet got sur

been induced to give grateful assent to the gener-
ous proposal And Will not YOU, my best beloved, do
the same Assuredly you Will.
But Whitsunday Is at hand so that if we are to
