Present my respects to Mr.Hillhouse.

His father's family are well.

Adieu.
Your affectionate friend, JOS.

P.ROSSITER.
From this letter and from others we learn that young Morse's youthful affections were fixed on a certain charming Miss Jannette Hart, but, alas! he proved a faithless lover, for his friend Rossiter thus reproves him in a letter of May 8, 1811:-- "Oh! most amazing change! Can it be possible?
Oh! Love, and all ye cordial powers of passion, forbid it! Still, still the dreadful words glare on my sight.

Alas! alas! and is it, then, a fact?
If so 't is pitiful, 't is wondrous pitiful.
