From George Bartram to Miss Garth.
“St. Crux, April 22d.
“DEAR MISS GARTH—Pray excuse my not thanking you sooner for your kind
and consoling letter. We are in sad trouble at St. Crux. Any little
irritation I might have felt at my poor uncle’s unlucky interference
in Portland Place is all forgotten in the misfortune of his serious
illness. He is suffering from internal inflammation, produced by cold;
and symptoms have shown themselves which are dangerous at his age. A
physician from London is now in the house. You shall hear more in a few
days. Meantime, believe me, with sincere gratitude,
“Yours most truly,
“GEORGE BARTRAM.”
