Ibreak in upon you at a moment when
we least of all are permitted to disturb our
friends, only to say that you are duily and hourly
present to my thoughts. If the worst be not yet
passed, you will neglect and pardon me; but if
the last struggle be over—if the object of your
long anxieties be no longer sensible to your
kindness or to her own sufferings, allow me (at
least in idea, for what could I do were I present
more than this ?) to sit by you in silence, and pity
from my heart, not her who is at rest, but you
who lose her. May He who made us, the Master
of our pleasures and our pains, preserve and
support you.
Ever sincerely yours,

Description of a Tour.
{Address
(Date in full
DEAR ——:
I have returned from Scotland, charmed
with my expedition; it is of the Highlands I
speak; the Lowlands are worth seeing once, but
the mountains are ecstatic and ought to be
visited in pilgrimage once a year. None but
these monstrous creations of God know how' to
join so much beauty with so much horror. A
tig for your poets, painters, gardeners and
clergymen that have not been among them;
their imagination can be made up of nothing but
bowling-greens, flowering-sarubs, horse ponds,
fleet ditches, shell-grottoes and Chinese rails.
Then I had so beautiful an autumn. Italy couid
hardly produce a nobler scene, and . this. 80
sweetly contrasted with that perfection of ex-
tortion and hmited accommodation that Scotland
so admirably supplies. Oh! you would have
blessed yourself. I shall certainly go again;
what a pity it is I cannot draw nor describe, nor
ride comfortably on horseback. . Dr. says
rs, ——— is very handsome, You agree with
him of course. Mr. » I, hear, has i
health of late; it is a mervous case, 80 have a
care. How do your eyes do? Adieu; my re-
spects to ———.
Ever yours,
