FRIDAY, SEPT. 1, TWO O'CLOCK
Now thou art so near , I will dispatch my servant to thee , if occasion requires . But , I fear , I shall soon give thee the news thou art apprehensive of . For I am just now sent for by Mrs. Smith ; who has ordered the messenger to tell me , that she knew not if the lady will be alive when I come . FRIDAY , SEPT. 1 , TWO O'CLOCK , AT SMITH 'S . I could not close my letter in such an uncertainty as must have added to your impatience . For you have , on several occasions , convinced me , that the suspense you love to give would be the greatest torment to you that you could receive . A common case with all aggressive and violent spirits , I believe .
