"Good night, my dear friend. Try and sleep put the anxiety away. When the moment comes and of course I admit it must come you will reap the harvest of the love you have sown. She does love you!

"By the merest chance, I happened to see that woman the night after she arrived. I went to the cottage to remonstrate on the behaviour of John Broad's boys in my plantation.
