Mr. Beauchamp, in this hope, writes to Sir Charles that he can, and will pay all due respect to his father’s wife, and, as such, treat her as his mo-ther, if she will consent to his return to his native country: but declares, that he would stay abroad all his life, rather than his father should be made unhappy, by allowing of his coming over against the consent of so high-spirited awoman. In the mean time he proposes to set out from Vienna, where he now is, for Paris, to be near, if Sir Charles, who he thinks can manage any point he undertakes (and who in this, will be seconded by his father’s love) can prevail with his mother-inlaw.

I long ladies, to have you all acquainted with this other excellent young man. You, Miss Byron, I am sure, in particular, will admire Sir Charles Grandison’s, and my Beauchamp: of spirit so manly, yet of manners so delicate, I end as I began; he is a second Sir Charles Grandison.

I shall think myself, ladies very happy, if I can find it in my power to oblige you, by any communi-cations you would wish to be made you. But let me once more recommend it to you, Lady L. Lord L. and Miss Grandison, to throw off all reserves to the most affectionate of brothers. He will have none to you, in cases which he knows will give you pleasure: and if he forbears of his own accord to acquaint you with some certain affairs, it is, because the issue of them is yet hidden from himself.

As to Lady Olivia, mentioned to you by good Lord L. she never can be more to my patron than she now is.

Allow me to be, my good Miss Byron, with a true paternal affection,

Your admirer and humble servant,

AMBROSE BARTLETT.

SUBJOINED IN A SEPARATE PAPER, BY MISS BYRON TO HER LUCY.

How is this, Lucy? Let me collect some of the contents of these letters. “ If Sir Charles forbear, of his own accord to acquaint his sisters with some certain affairs” “ Issue hidden from himself.” “ Engaged in some affairs at Bologna and Florence, that embarrass him” [/s, or xvas so engaged, means the doctor?] “ Sir Charles Jiot reserved; yet re-served.” How is all this, Lucy?

But does the doctor say, “ That I shall particu-larly admire Mr. Beauchamp?” What means the doctor by that? But he cannot affront me so much as to mean any-thing bui to shew his own love to the worthy young man. The doctor longs for us to see him: if I do see him, he must come quickly: for shall I not soon return to my last, my best re-fuge, the arms of my indulgent grandmamma and aunt? I shall.
