Pray therefore dear friend |

Pray,
therefore, dear friend, support my father. Say what you can to
him, in order that when he knows the worst, he may not feel it too
bitterly. I commend my sister also to you from the bottom of my
heart. Call on both of them soon, but say no word of the
death-only prepare them. You can do and say what you will; but
let me be so far at ease as to have no new misfortune to expect.
Comfort my dear father and my dear sister, and pray send me a
speedy answer."
The letter to his father is curiously circumstantial; but if on such occasion it is allowable to deceive at all, it is allowable to make the deception complete.
"The cause of my having left your letter of the 11th of June so
long unanswered is, that I have very unpleasant and melancholy
intelligence to communicate. My dear mother is very ill. At the
beginning of her illness she was, as usual, bled, and this seemed
to relieve and do her good; but in a few days she began to
complain of sudden chills and heats, which were accompanied by
headach and diarrhoea.
