A country attorney, Richards of Braintree, for whom I transact London business sent me the draught of a deed of separation to which the unfortunate lady, rather than continue to live with her husband, had consented for counsel's opinion. I had an interview with Mr. Harlowe himself upon the business; but I see he affects to have forgotten me.
