Answers him as to all the particulars he writes about.

LETTER LVIII. Lovelace to Belford.--
Has received a letter from Joseph Leman (who, he says, is
conscience-ridden) to inform him that Colonel Morden resolves to have his
will of him. He cannot bear to be threatened. He will write to the
Colonel to know his purpose. He cannot get off his regrets on account of
the dear lady for the blood of him.

LETTER LIX. Belford to Lovelace.--
It would be matter of serious reflection to him, he says, if that very
Leman, who had been his machine, should be the instrument of his fall.

LETTER LX. Lovelace to Belford.--
Has written to the Colonel to know his intention: but yet in such a
manner that he may handsomely avoid taking it as a challenge; though, in
the like case, he owns that he himself should not. Copy of his letter to
the Colonel.

LETTER LXI. From the same.--
He is now in his way to Trent, in order to meet Colonel Morden. He is
sure of victory: but will not, if he can help it, out of regard to
Clarissa, kill the Colonel.

LETTER LXII. From the same.--
Interview with Colonel Morden. To-morrow, says he, is the day that will,
in all probability, send either one or two ghosts to attend the manes of
my Clarissa. He doubts not to give the Colonel his life, or his death;
and to be able, by next morning eleven, to write all the particulars.
