ABSTRACT
How shall I express my thanks to my kind friend for the part she takes in my affairs! Had it not been for your friendly interposition, I had never known to what degree I was happy; Zilia had for ever buried the secret in her bosom, and sacrificed her peace to her refinement. Ah, amiable girl! what pity you, who delight in making others happy, should be fated to so hard a lot yourself! But we must submit to the inexorable hand of Destiny.
