Oct. 7, three o'clock
The world would wonder at your hesitating a moment . Your faithful A. Fermor . To Miss Fermor , at Silleri . Quebec , Oct. 7 , three o'clock . My visit to you is prevented by an event beyond my hopes . Sir George has this moment a letter from his mother , desiring him earnestly to postpone his marriage till spring , for some reasons of consequence to his fortune , with the particulars of which she will acquaint him by the next packet . He communicated this intelligence to me with a grave air , but with a tranquillity not to be described , and I received it with a joy I found it impossible wholly to conceal .
