This is A PRECIOUS gem, as furnishing at once the estima-
tion in which I yet stood in the eyes of my highest creditor —
h%8 kind and unaltered disposition to serve me to the utmost
of his power — and what was most gratifying of ally his con-
viction, that to do more than I had done was impossible ;—
for I still had very sensitive feelings on this point, and would
have felt keenly had the least suimise been thrown out, that



which he was doomed never to recover, and wfaOf poor man, now that he aaw
that I was indeed again <* a stricken deer," seemed to vie with the others, ia
order to ease me a little from one part of my burden,— alihough it is much to be
lamented, that all our united exertions, although apparently attended with a
momentary successt lost in time their effect, and as belonging to the daas of
the veiled subjects, must be here left to repose in silence.
