Letter

I think, as Molton does, that she will come to her
senses—that she will repent of having written that letter.
Nay, if she have any heart left, she will weep, to think, how

from my dear brother. He is going to New-Orleans—

advice? The mortal antipathy that appears to the relative (that)
would justify the belief that she had—and that her counsel was a lawyer—
an American—and a Yankee.—M.
