ABSTRACT
Ever since the misfortune which happened to me, in the loss of Aza, I could not have imagined, Sir, that any poignant affliction could have reached my heart; but fatal experience has convinced me of the contrary, from a discovery I accidentally made, and which has given me the most cruel uneasiness. Your sister came yesterday to see me, and after she had left me, I found a paper in my chamber. I opened it, but how great was my surprise to find it her hand, in a letter addressed to you; 33 in which, after condemning you for refusing my proffered friendship, she endeavours to persuade you to it, from motives very contrary to my thoughts.
