136

we parted yesterday, I have received from indispu::table authority, such an history of you, as mustbring the most mortifying conviction of the Im::position I have been under, & the absolute neceſ::sity of an immediate & eternal separation fromyou. — You cannot doubt to what I allude; —Langford — Langford — that word will be suffici::ent. I received my information in Mr . Johnson'shouse, from Mrs . Manwaring herself.

You know how I have loved you, you can intimately judge of my present feelings; but I am not so weak as to find indulgence in describing them to a woman who will glory in having excited their anguish, but whose affec::tion they have never been able to gain.

R De Courcy.
