LETTER LIX

_[Tonsberg] July 18 [1795]._

I am here in Tonsberg, separated from my child--and here I must remain a month at least, or I might as well never have come.

* * * * *

I have begun ---- which will, I hope, discharge all my obligations of a pecuniary kind.--I am lowered in my own eyes, on account of my not having done it sooner.

I shall make no further comments on your silence. God bless you!

MARY.
