Murder Of The Duchess De Praslin.
MURDER OF THE DUCHESS DE PRASLIN .
The {Excitement Cansed By This Shocking ...
The { excitement cansed by this shocking tragedy , has been much increased by the publication of tbe Duchess ' s letters to her husband , which ' reveal the terms on which they lived together . Together the affair constitutes one of the most profoundly interesting tragedies of real life of which it is possible to form any conception . Oar limited space will only permit a few selections from a correspondence which has occupied a . large space in the daily journals for several successive days . On Monday , 31 st ult . j" the Chancellor
made a report to the Chamber of Peers , in which he , recapitulated the leading events of the horrible affair , and thus alluded to the collection of letters written by the Duchess . 'I have thought " it necessary to have printed and distributed to the Peers a collection of all the proceedings on the examination , from the moment it was commenced till that of the death of the Duke de Praslin , followed by the prools of his death , and , as regularly as it could be acquired , tho cause of that death . Among all tbe numerous pre-cesverbaux and the numerous interrogatories of which this collection is composed , there is not one document that does not come to the
same point—that does not with greater or less evidence prove to a demonstration the real author . of jone of the most horrible acts to be found in the annals of crime . Tbe Duchess de Praslin was murdered by her husband , to whom she bad given ten children , of whom nine are still living—to whom she bad brought , ' with all the gifts of nature , those of the most cultivated mind , elevated soul , and affectionate heart , Her illustrious orig in was equal to that of her husband . Ids not speak of the magnificent fortune which she bad added to his , and of which she was worthy in every way by the use that she knew how to make use of it when she bad the means , and by the acts of charity inspired by' the principles of the holy religion with which she ' was penetrated . This angel of goodness has fallen . Words would be wanting if I were toattempt to describe to the court the feelings
inspired by the discoveries which I made during the ufilicting researches which it had ordered me to make . It appeared to me , and my colleagues shared my opinion , that the best mode of conveying to you the ideas which I have been able only very feebly to express in this short statement , would be to place under your eyes at least a portion of the letters written by Mmo . de Praslin to the very person who was so unworthy to receive them , and some of the reflections and meditations , the expression of which is contained in a small nuinber ' of writings , the precious remains of the emanations of one of tho purest minds evercreatedhy God for the honour of all times and all ages . ' These documents form part of the collection of which I . have just spoken , and which has been
distributed to you . If the Duke had not been his own judge , this collection would give to those who should take the pains to read it the means and the right of judging in their own consciences with the equitable severity from which the remembrance of him will not escape ; and if this collection is to remain as an eternal monument of the perversity of one ef the gtoatcstcriininals that ever lived , there will arise from it , at the same time , the consolatory reflection , that by tho side of the most furious passions of the most perverse men Providence has frequently placed in all ranks and all classes tbe most angelic virtues , wishing thus to grant to liuraanity a sort of right sometimes to turn away the eye from the perversities which afflict it , and perhaps also to solicit for them n little mercy .

LETTERS FEOM THE DUCHESS TO HEB HUSBAND ( WIUTTEN IN JDHE , 1841 ) . * Wherefore , my beloved , do you refuse to let me share your afflictions « You deprive our life of all the charms of affection ! Do you then believe , or rather do you wish to persuade yourself , that independence consists in solitude ? You say that I am exlgecwXe , because I desire to share your Borrows . You do not like me to remark that you have any . Do you then wish to become quite a stranger to me , and for that , would it not be requisite for me to become entirely indifferent to you ! And how could I become indifferent to the person I . lore best on earth ! - Do you think it possible 1—would not my heart break long before ? You yourself are sorrowful to soo me sad , and you know tbe reason of my sadness ; you know how it is in your power to console mo , and yet you
withhold those consolations . I , on tho contrary , see that you are sad ; I feel within my heart a source of the deepest love , lullcient to calm and soothe all your sorrows , and you discard me 1 Am I not yeur wife , the partner of your life , she whose duty it is to share equally your pleasures and your sorrows ? If you were ill , is it not my band that should smooths thy pillow ? And are not sorrows diseases of the mind—of the spirit ? Wherefore , then , reject mo ? You have a heart to nppre . ciate the joys , the wants of a loving heart , in which to place full confidence and find relief for your sorrows . It is the violence of my manners that prevents you from placing the confidence in me Believe me , Theobald , four months of sorrow and repentance hava chastened me ; it . is to love and console you , and not to torment you , that I seek your confidence , I give you my word
never again to try to gain an ascendancy over you ; I am fully aware of your superior character and mind ; I only wish to share your life , to embellish it , and pour balm upon your wounds . You left my room because you thought that I wished to gain an ascendancy over you . My friend , I swear unto you , in tbe name of my love , and in the name of yours , by all that I hold most sacred and most dear ,, ! only seek your lovo and your confidence as you have mine . I will blindly obey you , I will no longer torment you . by jealousy , I shall , never give you a word of reproach or of couasel . My repent , anco is too sincere , I have suffered too tnueh to return to my past faults ; We are both very young , Theobald . Do not condemn us both to solitude . How J 1 W Joro each other , we are both of us pure , and shall wa live apart from each other both in body and in mind ? Do
not let jour hca * t bo Sufferer from a little feeling of amour propre ; I swear unto you that I only seek your affection and your confidence ; I shal £ be the loving and obedient partner ofyear life . My friend , confidence is the marriage of souls—their mutual confessions ar » their caresses , and union , happiness and virtue aro thek frtits . Believe ma , I shall never abuse your confidence , yeur confessions will 1 » b received in my bosom with the sain * mystery and offeotkm as thy caresses . Take again your owst Faniy . Try her but for a short time with love and affection , and you will find that you will be much happier than living in solitude . You seek a change , but are yon really happy ? Oh I no , you are not , with a heart like yours , and tho lift * wo aro lead , ing . ' The only happiness of your wife consists In your love and support . Turn not a deaf ear unto her
entreaties ; ant * hep vows—to her repentance , for she loves you , and her whole life will be passed in lovo and gratitude towards you . You have driven her from yeur bed and from your , heart ; could you do more if she wns false t She spends her days and nights in tears ; she waits outside your door , but dares not enter , for fear you should reproach her for it on the morrow , ifon ami , in the name of the many dear remembrances which you bid me invoke , should I ever have offended you , hearken to me ; ¦ give me again your confidence and your love , and open your heart to the woman whose life is devoted to yoa . Ob , I will never abuse it . Oh , how have I offended you , my beloved , unless by my suspicions and my temper , and { when did a kind word fail to soothe me ? Give not veat to your anger—bo not inexorable . My heart is breaking . Theobaldpity ! pity
, oa her who loves you ! Trust your happiness to my keeping , as I trust mine to yours . * * Do not break the heart that is beatin g only for you . You who onee loved me so much , forgive me . When you confess tome your sorrews—your head upon my breast , your hands la mine , my lip upon your forehead—do you think that they will not belcss than if pent up iu your own breast * Do not sacrifice our mutual happiness to an empty fear that I wil abuse your goodness ; no , no I will only share and console you in all your sorrows . But will you be th « less a man to have a loving woman to share your pleasures and your sorrows ? Let this union of our hearts bo a sweet mystery of love between us . Oh J we
couldbe sohappyifj-ouwould buttry it . You would always be met with a happy and smiling countenance , ready to follow you wherever you liked . Perhaps , after all , you are tha more jealous of the . two . God knows what suspicion you may nourish in your breast , for I am at a less now to interpret your secret sorrows . If you knew what I suffer , my beloved ! 16 Is still in your power to be so happy . I cannot think that you wish to abandon me tins for ever , to deprive us of mutual hap . piness—Hie is so short , my beloved , and we have been separated alread y so long 1 Soon I shall not dare to make proposals , always refused , like my caresses . It Is not ia your character to make the first advances , end from custom your wife will fear you too much to make

I burned them in a moment of despair , to efface all marks of my sufferings , and oalyshow you my happy thoughts at your return . Two years have passed , and my hopes are destroyedfor ever ; but I feel the want of expressing to all the tenderness and Jove I have felt for you ,
you Yoii have taken my chiMren from me . My children ! Do you think mo capable efierruptingthem ? t loved vou to * well not to love my children , and you have now taken them from me ; to place . them under , the , caro of a giddy young person , without any religion , and whom you only know frem an eight months'acquaintance . Theobald ! Theobald ! was it not sufficient to abandon me , Without depriving me of th * affection and the esteem of my children ? ' For five years , nearly , my pillow hag been wet with my tears , and my health has suffered from it . ' ' ¦ - Jan . U , 1812 . —The duchess again complains bitterly ot bein g deprived of her children .
« Eich day , ' she adds , < adds additional sorrow to my existence ' . I have been calumniated , and perhaps yon think me gailty , otherwise you would never have deprived me of my children , to place them under , the care of a stranger who has usurped my plaeo in your house , and yet , before God , I swear I never loved any one but you . Oh , if I was not certain that your heart is for ever closed to mo , I would make a last ; attempt . I would throw myself atyo ' ur feet , and entreat you , in the name of your father , of your old days , of our children , of our first love ,. to have pity on her who has never ceased to love you . What an existence 1 What a future ! With a husband and children , to be condemned to live and die alone 1 ' ' April 28 . —It is now some time since I have written , and my position is now far worse than it was . MademohelloD—— is mistress of tbohouse . What an ex .
ample to the children ! A young woman of 28 to be allowed to enter at all hours tbe room of a man of 37 , and to receive him at all hours in her own apartment ! Had ' she not the impertinence to tell me that she could not interfere between me and M , de Praslin , as she thought he must have sufficient reasons to withdraw my children from superintendence ? ' Those reflections which I wrote down yesterday upon a stray sheet arenow singular to copy , and prove the extent of niy unskilfuincss . Tho best weapon , if I take it in ' my hand , torus and wounds myself . . To-day , per . cciving myself angry at seeing you come out from a tele-« . /<{« with Mademoiselle D ., I thought to act mottjudiciously in flying without saying a word , believing that I should thus avoid any scene of recrimination , and
testify my disapprobation , gently , without risking anything , Good God 1 How far was I from anticipating the fright , ful rage iu which my unluck y gentleness put you . Cer . tainly , no violence could have urged you further than to follow me on the staircase with loud insults and menacing gestures , and afterwards to come to my room and break my vases , and take from me two presents which I valued so much , and which you gave me when I believed you loved me so ' much . Perhaps you have given them to another . You have made me burn the letters—proofs , and only relics of that love . You have torn from mc my children ; you'have condemned . me to grief for my present Ufa , without leaving me a better hope for the future , and now you deprive roe of the past . # * 'AH is finished J We have , quarrelled beyond rocal .
Oh , he is more than harsh , he is cruel towards me . How could he acquire this excess of , aversion for me , whose love he knows to be so pure , so tender , so devoted ? What infamous influences have been at work , upon his heart , once so good , so affectionate , so just ? He excuses himself , doubtless , by telling himself that my character has become hateful and intractable . But whoso is the fault ? Has ho not disordered all my sentiments , nil my principles—does he not seize every occasion to hurt and wound me ? # . # . ' Tho chamber I live in kills me with its bitter recollections . The sight of the staircase which I mounted en " the day of marriage , so full of joy . ofleve , of hopes , so trusting , —all this part of the chateau , which I Inhabited when you loved mc , when you never left me , all this makes mo mad . I know not
what I do or say , so ill have you treated me since you have come into possession of your magnificent chateau . Your first word was t & tell me that I was not id think , myself at home . It is true you made me fine promises : for the future , but how haveyoalcept them ? It seems that since you have been Duke de Praslin , and possessor of the chateau , I am no longer worthy of being your wife . Since you have wished for no more children you . have bolicved yourself freed from all sentiments of affection , from all consideration , from allregard . Was I then only a machine ? But I—I had placed all my heart , all my hope , all my happiness on our union .., It was the history of my life , Far from dreading age , like so many women , I rejoiced in tho anticipation of tbe happiness we should have together ^ as having loved one another to long—in ^ talking over our old recollection *—in living again in our children—in quitting together this world
for a better . Alas ! wh y are you no longer religious ? My fears would ' not have arisen if yeu had n * t excited tbern , 1 no loiter see you amenable to any restraint of religion . For a long time you have adopted the appearance of the most disordered life ; yeu affect the greatest levity of manner , the greatest contempt for the ofeitscams . I have seen you depart from the truth so far as to say that you have done oue thing when you have done another . Alas ! what can I judge , except appearances , since you will not let me know the reality ? Oh , I nm more unfortunate than blameable . If you do not wish to live an abandoned life , as so many others , why do everything to make me believe so ? You knew that I was of a jealous temperament ; if you loved me , if you loved peace and union , why do all that would have been required to excite jealousy in one the least susceptible # f it ?
ONDATED 1 ETTEE FOr . ND IN THE DCRb ' s BOBBAV . 'You will not be surprised , sir , that after such an insult I can never consent that the person to whose ill conduct I owe ifshould remain under the same roof with me . You are completely blinded towards me and towards yourself . ' You are doubtless free to do what suits you ; but you are not free to have my daughters brought up by a person whom I despise as her shameful conduct deserves . For ' a long time I hare sought an explanation with you ; I have done what I could to obtain it , but you refuse it . I demand , then , that yeu authorise me to travel , to avoid greater scandals . During that time you will reflect on tho course it will be suit , able for you to adopt , The day will come , Theobald , when you will return to yourself , and . perceive how unjutt and cruel you have been t * the mother of your children , In order to please a crackbrain who respects nothing .
' January 24 , 1842 —Every day brings a fresh sorrow to my life . I am calumniated to you , and you perhaps believe me gnilty . But for that , however bitter your hatred and your vengeance for my bursts of passion and my jealousy , you would nothave taken on yourself to tear my children from me . Whatever may have been your abandonment of me , and y * ur myslerious conduct for so many years past , I have loved you enough to entertain the sweetest illusion , to believe in a return , and evenoh ! do not laugh ot ray credulity—to still believe in your tenderness and your fidelity . But now that you have torn from me all my childran , to give them a * evaporee , whom you scarcely know—to whom you hav « transferred all the diities which I had to fulfil , all my joys , all my authority—who has the right to dispose of
my dearest property , my children—irho is the companion of my husband—who has acquired the right of entering at any hour , under any circumsteacc * , int * this apartmsnt , whore I , your wife , the mother of your children , have no longer the right lo enter , even when you are ill . 0 ' * i under the mask of au open carriage , there is much Intrigue , wsnt ofmodesiy in this person , who is wanting la religious sentiments , as ) d without which female virtue Is but a quicksand . This person , under proper control , might make a good governess for the instruction of the children ; but to make of her th * mother of my children ; and I lire to see myself condensed to be thus replaced I May God forgive you ; as a Christian I pardon you .

your heart towards me . Was it n * t on * ugh for you to have abandoned me , to have create * n home , joys , obcu . patlons , and interests of which I wu Ignevant ? Was it still necessary for you to have tor * from rn * my children , and filled my place before my wry eyes ? I have been calumniated . Before God , I swear that I have never loved but you . Oh ! if I had not th * sad proofs that your heart is for ever closed against me , I would attempt a last effort , I would throw myself at your feet , I would beseech you in the name of yeur fether , ot his old dayr , of our children , of the remembrance of our love , to have pity on her who has never ceased to love you , and who would still sacrifice her life for you . But I now know that my grief and sufferings ar » odious to you , and moke no impressions on your feelings .
« April 23 . —It is long since I have written , and my position has since become more and mere painful , Yeu seem to have changed and put aside all external appearances . Mademoiselle D— reigns absolute . Never was a governess seen to assume so scandalous a position . Believe me that it ia a great misfortune , a great eviltot all this intimate and familiar conduct with you , this authority over tho whole household , shows that she is a person who believes that she has a right to put herself above all propriety . With he * all this is vanity , love of rule , domination , and pleasure . Reflect that a fraternal intimacy between you and her , looking at your ago and her position , is out of all consistency . What an example to give to young persons , to give So them , -as a thing of course , a woman aged only 28 going and coming at all
hours , and in any state of costume , to and from the chamber of a man no more than 37 , receiving him in her own chamber , being tetc-a-ttte with him for whole evenlugs , ordering furniture , directing journeys , parties of pleasure , & c . She has broken with her female friends in order to bring herself into greater relief , and thus engross you entirely to herself ; always finding means to get rid of the children , Has she not had the effrontery to say to me- ' I regret , Madame , that it is not possible for me to act as mediator between jou and M de Praslin ; but for your own interest I recommend you to pay attention to your manner of conducting yourself towards me . I conceive that it would be painful for yoa to be separated from your children bat after the positive . * eaolutioa oome to by M , d . e PrasUn in tcU mpect . i am

You despise mesomuch ' thntldare not repeat the expressions you made use of in telling me so , because I blamed her
manners " and her arrogance . It would be better for me to approve of that which is blameable , in order to obtain her permission for you t <* treat me better ; Then , indeed ; should I render iDjself . deepicable , when I submitted . to purchase pleasure—even happiness by baseness so vile . . 'You are in such a state of irritation that you will not listen to me , and cannot comprehend mc . I do not imean , as you always seem to conceive , that Mademoiselle D— is your mistress in tbe full force of the expression . ! Thi » supposition , on accountof your children , is revolting toyou , aud you do not perceive that , in the eyes of all , her familiar relations with you , her absolute empire over the house , my isolation , are as fully established as if she were so openly . You huve often eoncluded from appearances much less decisive that there were criminal rclations between others . Cannot you , therefore , conceive my
grief at seeing my children torn from their mother , to be abandoned completely to a person who has no conception that good conduct aad virtue have their external forms , and ought never to adopt those of vice ? How can I help being afflicted when ! see them ia the hands of a person who has avowed her contempt for me by what I have repeated to you above , and who estnblishi-s her empire by making you hate and despise me ? You have always \ % d to me ,.: 'When there are suspicions , they should , always be cleared up . ' Bat do you not find that she daily en . grosses your time , and abuses her power over you by using it to aggravate our differences and alienate us more and more from each other ? Mademowellc D— might he a very good governess , but it is necessary she should bo guided and controlled ; but not by a young man , because she is too light and inconsiderate , coquettish and imperious . ¦ .- ; ¦ _
The best weapon , if , I take It into my hand , is sure to turn upon and wound me . To-day , feeling disgust at seeing you come from a tete-a-tete with Mademoiselle D— , I thought I was making a master-stroke by flying without saying a , word ; thinking by this to avoid a scene , end mark ray disapprobation mildly and without risk . Good God ! I was far from expecting the , frightful rage into which my unfortunate mildness threw you ! Certainly no violence I could have used could have excited you funhir than to pursue me on the staircase with abusive Ianguage , uttered with loud voice and insulting gestures ; and then , after rctirinx for a few minutes into your own room , coming into mine , and breaking my Saxon vases , my silver-gilt ewer ( aigiiUre ) , or rather that of Horace , and taking away two { . resents to which I was mnch atloved
tached , for you gave them me when I thought you so much ; my little . roso plateau , and my small gilt vases . I trust you have not , given them to her or to another . Th * other day , to punish me for having forced myself iuto your room , which she can enter whenever she pleases , you came and broke all my omhreUes . To-day , because . ! fled in silence tu avoid a scene-, you destroyed things most precious to me , and rob me of the memorials of alove which has been my entire happiness . You have already burnt those letters which were the sole remaining testimoriies . of that tenderness ; you have torn from « ie my children , you have condemned mo to nil the miseries of life for the present , without leaving any hope of happiness for the future , and now you deprive me . of the memorials of the past . Oh , my God 11 have loved him too much—you have struck true .
Frequently : and ; at . this very moment ( half-past one o'clock in the morning ) 1 car . not help figuring to myself that she is perhaps with him in his chamber , gossipping withhim , in defiance of propriety , without being what is called his mistress . How is it that he does not comprehend that there are many things wounding to tho affections ! All is not concentrated in one animal action , as regards the pains of the heart . I am convinced that if we were separated he would soon feel the necessity of observing strictly the proprieties-of society with the governess of his daughters , Can it be true , my God , that
ho despises me ; that he lores me no longer ! Sometimes I entertuin doubts , and fancy that it is only a plan to comet me . But , on reflection , I cannot but remember that for five years he has daily broken more and more with me , that I an no longer anything to him , that he has deprived me © f my rights as a . mother , as mistress of his house ; that , on all occasions , my place is assigned to mo by him . Is it a lure he has held out to me , intimating that if I support all the severe privations be imposes upon mc , without uttering a complaint , be will restore to mo all my desires ? D .-es he imagine that he cau it hu wishes to do so ? Does he desire it ? I often think he does .
Could he then ? This I very much doubt . Mademoiselle D— would bring forward the barg . iin between them , and he would not dare to decide in my favour . And I well conceive that she has real advantages as a governess , but he . thinks her superior tt > what she really is . He would see me submissive , and believe me content ; he would think that the change would not be worfh while , and in truth itis too certain that he has avery bad opinion ofwo , I have great faults , and I . suffer too much from them to be ignorant of them ; but I am convinced ho believes I have vices that I am not guilty of . This
morning , in conversing , Madame , de Dolomeu , before this frightful scene , said to mo , ' Your husband has an entire and tender devotion to you , has be cot V I avoided the question , for I could not tako . it upon myself to say a thing I did not think , which I knew too wall I could no longer boast of . He lovesme ho more ! But , my God , to whom I hare said , . ' Deprire me , if so it inuit be , of his love , that only joy of my life—that life of my heartbut let him be saved ,, that we may one day be reunited with our children in Thy bosom as the reward of this sacrifice '—Oh tell trie , my God , that he will love me again when he knows this—that he will not curse my memory , and . my prayers will be grautsd . It is no aew . to me to see him give himself up to these
violent fits of passion , and to which mine have never approached , that I frequently cflm ' iot help thinking tlrnt this . violence is feigned ; inasmuch as , iu general , he does not break things to pieces until after he has reflected . God grant that this may be so ! for if he be so anxious to correct me as to purchase my cure at the price of extravagances , with r . n air . almost of sang-froid , then he still loves rat ; and jet , what horrible expressions of disgust ! They canaot come frem a feigned anger ! But did lie not say to me the other day , hi the presence of Bertha , nud throwing to me all he had broken in my absence , that he would do the same every time that I broko : something in bis apartment ? This is a lingular Idea , since I never ihtenionally broke anything bebngisg to him . I only wished to , force open the door of b ' . s
chamber , at the moment he was bolting it . He afterwards told me coolly that he would do the same whenever I happened to repeat the breaking . This , then , is a plan , a calculated resolution come to in advance . Why then should I take it for a real act of passion ? To . day , however , I have ntisher said , nor broken any . thing . Truly , this is paying dear for a silent mark of dissatisfaction . I cannot conceive how matters will be arranged . 1 kaow not how to help thinking that a separation would be best . Things ur * becoming more and mora envenomed . I wish to promote his happlneses ; but , ns his life is new arranged , instead of contribstfne
to it , I destroy it , I am Mititnug a thousand martyrdoms , If I ' were to go quite alone to Pretot , under the pretence of sea-bathing , he would have time to learn whether he is really more happy with the life he has arranged with Mademoiselle D— and the children , without having me as his wife , or whether it would be more agreeable to him t * commence a bvw life altogether with rae . Three months may be sufficient for tlti-s experiment , and I could resign myself with the greater facility ?» live alone d * wn ther * , than to remain atre iotas position ia which 1 find myself . I kaow that as things are now my absence would be rather a relief , thaa a pri . vatloa . '

However well-grounded and reasonable my grief may be , I ought either to conceal it or express more calmly the natural anxiety it causes me for our children . How things are come to this point , I assure you it would bo better for ur to separate quietly , privately , without speaking to any one . Time brings things about ; it will one day open your eyes to the sad and deplorable influence which you have suffered to gain such ascendancy over you , such authority over our children and your house . Lit me await that moment in
peace and solitude . For years past I have made vain efforts to appear calm and resigned to a state of things which I firmly believe is ns injurious to mt eldest daughters as it is painful to myself . Per a long time I believed in your affection ; and that gave ma patience under my sufferings . Now , all illusion has ceased ; I see that I never could have occupied the place I coveted in your heart , as I once supposed . You were for a long time so very kind to we , that I believed you loved me with » reciprocal affection , and that you ttould one day bemineagaia . This illusion is destroyed , If I was not able to win your affections formerly , I cannot hope to do so now , after so much trouble has soured my temper of which I am full y axruee . My heart is still tbe same ' entirely devoted to you and our children ; but I see that I am nothing either to you or the children . You have
annulled my life ; you force me to be only a spectator , whereas I * ught to be tbe second head of the family . I seen thousand things around me equallyobnoxious to my principles and my affections . \ am evidently a burden to you , and soma of my children , in appearance at least , for you are far from knowing their real feelings . In fine , you have made my life useless here , and you let me feel that I am iu the way and only tolerated . I know I can do nothing to change an iota of your determine , tion ; I only ask you , therefore , to make such arrangements that I may not be compelled to witness things which I cannot help blaming from my very heart . Yon have shown in every way that you feel neither esteem nor friendship for me , and that you would have our children share your sentiments . I wish for nothing but to let you enjoy in peace the kind of lift you have chosen , without being & n unwilling spectator of it , I suffer too
