'' Just above I called my state , a state of _ cruel suspense _ . But I recall the words : for now it is no longer suspense ; since , if this letter says truth , I know the worst : and there is too much appearance that it does , let the writer be who he will , or his or her motive what it will : for , after all , I am apt to fancy this a contrivance of Mr. Turner 's , though , for fear of ill consequences , I will not say so . And now , Madam , I am endeavouring , by the help of religion , and cool reflection , to bring my mind to bear this heavy evil , and to recollect what I _ was _ , and how much more honourable an estate I _ am in _ , than I could ever have expected to be in ; that my virtue and good name are secured ; and I can return innocent to my dear parents : and these were once the only pride of my heart .
