Kemble, Frances Anne, 1809-1893

"Records of a Girlhood"

I act in
"Fazio" Monday and Wednesday, and Friday and Saturday Mrs. Beverley
and Belvidera at Brighton.
I was inexpressibly relieved by receiving a letter from my brother, and
the intelligence that if I answered him he would be able to receive my
reply, which I made immediate speed to send him.
GREAT RUSSELL STREET.
DEAR MRS. JAMESON,
My brother John is alive, safe and well, in Gibraltar. You deserve
to know this, but it is all I can say to you. My mother has
suffered so much that she hardly feels her joy; it has broken her
down, and I, who have borne up well till now, feel prostrated by
this reprieve. God be thanked for all his mercies! I can say no
more.
F. A. K.


CHAPTER XIX.

GREAT RUSSELL STREET, February 7, 1831.
MY DEAR H----,
I found your lecture waiting for me on my return from Brighton; I
call it thus because if your two last were less than letters your
yesterday's one is more; but I shall not attempt at present to
follow you to the misty heights whither our nature tends, or dive
with you into the muddy depths whence it springs.
