    will sink in the estimation of the world. In my opinion you will rise. My own father found it inconvenient to do so, shortly after I was born; and I have heard the fact mentioned by many with applause; never by one with blame. For myself I have always felt it a reason that made me more proud to be his son.
    Anxious to save the post, I have written as fast as I could, and have not attended to poor Edmund's escape, at which I am heartily glad.
    I am, my dear Sir. Ever most truly yours Dawson Turner.
