Before the expiration of a twelve month, we found our connection (from various reasons) with Mr. M'Cready, not likely to turn out as we hoped, either for our satisfaction or profit.
It was therefore thought best by Mr. G. to withdraw from the partnership, upon which Mr. M'Cready agreed to pay back the money by instalments; but this not proving ultimately convenient to him, it was settled that Mr. M'Cready should pay Mr. G. an annuity during the life of a person fixed upon by both parties.
Immediately on the conclusion of this business, Mr. G. wrote to you to state the whole affair, and offering in liquidation of his debt to you the half of this annuity; but, strange to think, neither from yourself or agent, to whom by your letters (as will be seen) you have referred him, has he been able to obtain any reply to his offers, it is therefore but too plain what your merciless intentions are; you pass by Mr. G. to wreak your whole revenge upon me and my innocent children; nothing therefore remains for me to do, but to deprive them of the little fortunes which I now possess, or to allow my kind friend to be forced by you to pay the amount of the bond.
After all I have already suffered through your conduct; I am now required to make one more sacrifice to resign the last remnant of my ruined fortunes. It shall be done Madam, no exertion on my part be omitted to discharge Mr. G.'s debt to you, as soon as I possibly can command from others what is my just demand upon them. I have now lived a miserable exile from all the enjoyments of life, for near a year and a half in dreary solitude, alone supported by the hope of being ere this

freed from your persecution.
The cruel disappointment of these hopes (by Mr. M'Cready's not being able to return us the money) had nearly deprived me of life in causing the illness before mentioned; though I recovered in some degree, the languid state of my health induces me to give to the, public this recital, contrary to my former intentions, lest by deferring it, I should perhaps become incapable of hereafter doing so.
Let the reader reflect but a moment on this little history.
You found me in possession of every thing that made life valuable: with every comfort a reasonable being could hope for; in a word, as happy as I could expect to be, circumstanced as I was. From the moment you became my professed friend, that happiness was at an end: with an art peculiar to yourself, you not alone got possession of Mr. G.'s but of my mind, so as to mould it to your purpose by the most unlimited professions of esteem and friendship, which you not only expressed to me, but to every one to whom you spoke of me, so that all believed with me, you were my sincere friend.
It may be asked how did this seeming friendship agree with your conduct in respect to Mr. G.? To that I reply, though I was not blinded on the subject, I never believed it more than a ridiculous passion, chiefly arising from liking to have the attention of a man, who, being young enough to be your son, flattered your vanity by his apparent attachment to you. Never could I suppose it could go beyond a weakness of that description. I have known such folly even in the most worthy natures.
