This would be our Christian duty at any time, but it is more particularly our duty now.

I would like you to bring your cousin over to see us before Roberta goes away.

I invited her to come, and told her that my niece would first call upon her were it not for the peculiar circumstances.

But if the families can be in a measure brought together--and I shall make it a point to ride over there occasionally--if your aunt can be made to understand the kindly feelings we really have toward her, and can be induced to set aside, even in a slight degree, the violent prejudice she now holds against us, all may yet turn out well.

Now go, my boy, and may the best of success go with you.
