Sayfa 424 / 817

For the truth of everything here related, I can appeal more

particularly to the testimony of Colonel Fitzwilliam, who, from

our near relationship and constant intimacy, and still more as

one of the executors of my father's will, has been unavoidably

acquainted with every particular of these transactions. If your

abhorrence of me should make my assertions valueless, you cannot

be prevented by the same cause from confiding in my cousin; and

that there may be the possibility of consulting him, I shall

endeavour to find some opportunity of putting this letter in your

hands in the course of the morning. I will only add, God bless

you.

"FITZWILLIAM DARCY."
