You enjoin a continued silence in regard to your return from the South.

Oh, sir! remove that injunction as quickly as possible; for every hour that it remains, increases my unhappiness.

You have separated between me and my good mother,--you are holding me back from throwing myself on her bosom, and letting her see every thought of my soul.

I cannot very long endure the present.

Why not at once write to my father, and explain all to him?
He must know that you came back, and the sooner, it seems to me, will be the better.
