LETTER XXII.

I was more mistaken than I thought I was, in respect
to the English books in the press, the keys of which I left
you. But I trust you have enough to employ you until my
return. I have, literally, nothing, my dear boy, to say to

you, except to express my unceasing solicitude for your welfare.
Having made a party to shoot to-morrow, I feared I
might not have time on my return to write even a few lines,
which I feel confident you are always glad to receive from
