LETTER XX. MERIEL to CELIA.
London, November 17th, 1776.
[figure description] Page 142.[end figure description]
Celia, you are happy. You never formed
a wi&longs;h beyond the narrow bounds
pre&longs;cribed by your mona&longs;tic rules. Your
heart never vibrated with love, with hope,
with &longs;en&longs;ations unde&longs;cribably plea&longs;ing, when
the object of that love returned in &longs;afety from
the boi&longs;terous elements, and &longs;till more dreadful
fury of enemies. And is it, do you a&longs;k,
a happine&longs;s to be deprived of tho&longs;e &longs;weet sensations?
Yes, my friend it is; for then you
cannot &longs;uffer the keen pang, which at this moment
rends the heart of your friend. Read
the enclo&longs;ed, which I have ju&longs;t received, and
tell me if you do not pity your
MERIEL.
