daughter to withhold from publication the
contents of this letter, a sense Of duty which
/ owe to my many friends impels me to al
least give its purport, which herewith at
tach:
My FArHER-I write to let you know am
alive and well; am not on the stage, as you
supno- ed nor have eloped. Oh, how coul6t
YOU think so, when / care so little for gentle
men society. i am earning my own hv1ng-
