62 LETTEES. 
let it be, my dear brother, our future study 
to render ourselves deserving of, though it 
will be impossible to repay, such friend- 
ship. God grant your innocence may be, by 
your acquittal, speedily known to the world. 
I never for a moment doubted it ; nor, if it 
was in the smallest degree suspected, would 
you, my dearest boy, be sustained and sup- 
ported by so many friends, who, I am con- 
vinced, will do everything in their power for 
you. How anxiously do we all wish for the 
time when we shall have the inexpressible 
happiness of embracing you in the Isle of 
Man ! May that period be very, very near 
and may that Almighty Providence which 
has hitherto preserved you, watch over and 
protect you at the awful moment of trial. 
My mamma, brothers, and sisters, join in 
most affectionate love and ardent wishes for 
your safety. That you, my beloved boy, may 
have a speedy end to all your difficulties and 
distresses, and be again restored to your ador- 
ing family, is the unceasing prayer of your 
most sincere friend and affectionate sister, 
" MARY HEYWOOD."
