LETTER XXXIII.
Mrs.HolmestoMyra.
Belleview.
IT is the duty of friends to be interested in all the concerns of one another—to join in their joys and to avert the stroke of danger. It is the duty of a centinel to give the alarm at the approach of what he may think such—and if the result does not prove to be a real evil—he has but performed his duty, and the action is meritorious.
IF your exertions to countermine the connexion of your brother withHarriotshouldprove ineffectual (and do not fail to acquaint me with it either way)I have a tale to unfoldwhich may possibly forbid the banns.
