You s¢e IT am not in mourning, and you, of course, doubtless know that Sam and I were more or lose estranged for many months before his death. 1 would feel myself a great hypocrite if I made a show of [deep grief. I don’t want to give you the Sdea however, that T am #0 heartless as not to grieve all for Sam.

We wore not friends. I have always held up to my acquaintances you and Mr. Hamilton as being true friends when I wished to prove that friend ship was even more necessary to marriage than love, I like verymuch to work for your daughter's husband, Mr, Prescott.
