LETTERS. 243 



ten o'clock, and take two walks in the day, l^esides riding, 

 when the weather will permit. 



Under these circumstances, my dear brother may set 

 his mind perfectly at ease. Even change of air some- 

 times occasions violent attacks, but they leave the patient

H. K. AVhite. 



One thing I had forgotten — you mention my pecu- 

 niary matters — you make me blush when you do so. 

 You may rest assured that I have no wants of that kind, 

 nor am likely to have at present. Your brotherly love 

 and anxiety towards me has sunk deep into my heart ; 

 and you may satisfy yourself with this, that whatever is 

 necessary for my health shall not be spared, and that
