          intimation of some important or
 interesting action being learned from
 some stranger or read in the public 
 paper. Matters even in which
 I have a direct interest, and which
 it is in every way proper I should
 be consulted about, are arranged
 and consummated without the 
 slightest reference to myself. I have
 other just causes of complaint produced 
 by the suspicion which Prof.
 Henry seems to have of my motives
 and actions. Notwithstanding
 all this however, my heart warms
 to him whenever the sunshine
 appears on his face and for a
 moment he resumes the kind
 familiarity and confidence of
 other days.


 In all he does, Prof. Henry
 undoubtedly thinks he has just
 cause for acting thus, but as regards
 myself and any feelings of hostility
 or unwillingness to carry out his
 instructions, he is entirely mistaken.
 I have at various times
 endeavored to convince him of this,
 and sometimes succeeded for a while,
 but the clouds would again gather.
