the late Lord was concerned. yet IN the unjust
tees Of Lady LyttoD | feel that delay would be
preludIcial to tho very object Of my trust and the
faithful discharge 81 a duty had unrcscrycdy
cepted. Let then these letters tell their own tale.
The correspondence carries the reader with

married life, and it II remarkable that Miss
