LADY SUSAN TO MR. DE COURCY

Upper Seymour Street.

I am satisfied, and will trouble you no more when these few lines are

dismissed. The engagement which you were eager to form a fortnight ago is

no longer compatible with your views, and I rejoice to find that the

prudent advice of your parents has not been given in vain. Your restoration

to peace will, I doubt not, speedily follow this act of filial obedience,

and I flatter myself with the hope of surviving my share in this

disappointment.

S. V.
