and console your sister.[1] I found her in bitter
distress; though much recovered from the agony, in which she had been, by
the kind cares of M.rs
Bruce[2] and the Baron.[3] After composing her by a flattering picture of
your prospects for the voyage and a strong
infusion of hope, that she had not taken a last farewell of you; The
Baron little Phillip[4]
and myself, with her consent, walked down to the Battery, where with aching
hearts and anxious eyes we saw your vessel, in full sail, swiftly bearing
our loved friend from our embraces. Imagine what we felt. We gazed, we
sighed, we wept; and casting "many a lingering
longing look behind" returned home to give scope to our sorrows, and
mingle without restraint, our tears and our regrets. The good Baron
has more than ever rivetted himself in my affection : to observe his
unaffected solicitude and see his old eyes brimful of sympathy has
something in it that won my whole soul and filled me with more than usual
complacency for human nature. Amiable Angelica!
how much you are formed to endear yourself to every good heart. How deeply
you have rooted yourself in the affections of your friends on this side the
Atlantic! Some of us are and must continue
inconsolable for your absence. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
