He brought a newspaper, and what was better, a letter for Anne, franked by the first lieutenant of the Victory. 'Then he's aboard her, said Anne, as she eagerly took the letter.
He then franked the letters, at the same time observing that the storm was becoming too heavy for a servant to ride in it all the way to the post-office, at Alexandria. It being late dinner-time, the food all upon the table, and the family waiting for him, he sat down to the meal without changing his damp clothes. On rising the following morning, Washington complained of a sore throat.
A letter was delivered to Miss Dacre. She started, exclaimed, blushed, and tore it open. 'Only you, only you, she said, extending her hand to the young Duke, 'only you were capable of this!

Two of the letters bore the post-marks of the office nearest Clawbonny; the third was from Albany; and the fourth was a packet of some size from Washington, franked by the Secretary of State, and bearing the seal of office. Surprised at such a circumstance, I opened the last of these communications first.
At the same time, there came a packet franked by a not very satisfactory peer, brother to Lady Louisa.
