Extracts of letters found concealed on board the sloop Jane
& Elizabeth. . . [59 lines] All her (i.e. your sister's)
amusements are at an end; her books, her shells, and her
paints, are thrown by, as useless things, and her spinning-
wheel employs the chief of her time. Nothing but melancholy
reigns in that once peaceful and happy family. Even you
yourself, if you were there, not withstanding your natural
cheerfulness, would forget to sing or whistle any other than
a psalm tune. . . [13 more lines]
