NELSON & BRONTE.




TO MISS CHARLOTTE NELSON.


Victory, April 19th, 1804.

MY DEAR CHARLOTTE,

I thank you very much for your kind letters of January 3d, and 4th;
and I feel truly sensible of your kind regard for that dear little
orphan, Horatia.

Although her parents are lost; yet, she is not without a fortune: and,
I shall cherish her to the last moment of my life; and _curse_
them who _curse_ her, and Heaven _bless_ them who _bless_ her! Dear
innocent! she can have injured no one.

I am glad to hear, that she is attached to you; and, if she takes
after her parents, so she will, to those who are kind to her.

I am, ever, dear Charlotte, your affectionate uncle,

NELSON & BRONTE.
