AS there any probability that a leiter fro111 me would be prrmittcd toreach your hand alone, I i h o lndo, t have cholkn this Ieatt eligible method of writiilg to you. The public is no way collcernrd in fa mily affairs, nor ought to be made 2 party in them but my circumitanccs are f uch as lay me under a necellity of either comn unicati y n my frntin e t n s to the worlcl, or concealing them from you. The latter would, 1 t h i n k , be the breach of zn indiQenfablc duty, which obliges me to wave the impropriety of she former. A long train of events, of a mofi ex traordinary nature, confpired to re move you, very earlv from the tender A care Ir ADVICE care of an affeftionate mother you were the11 too youngto be able to form any r. ight judgement of her condua and fince that time it- isvery probable, that it has been rcprefentcd tb you in the moR unfavourable light.
