one. Without this packet Grant was
helpless to injure Colonel Mortimer.
AS to Claire, Seldom would protect her
for the present, and as soon as the
father returned, he would doubtless
compel her to accompany him back to
Philadelphia. The best service could
render was to destroy these notes, and

warn the Mortimers against Grant, to
let them know his treachery, and this
could be best accomplished through
Eric. Although in different armies,
