[F] page 37. Extract from a Letter from the Rev. O. S. Saunders to Dr. farre. Barnstaple, I7th Oct. 1812. Bear Farre, Your last letter clearly shows how severely you feel the conduct of my brother's widow. Mr. Olive, in his letter to me on the same subject, speaks in high terms both of you and Mr. Battley, for your friendly efforts to prevent that imprudent marriage. I am sorry these were not crowned with success. Mr. Olive, from mo- tives of delicacy, did not include himself, but 1 am indebted to a friend for the intelligence, that he also was one of her unsuccessful friends. His subsequent conduct, in availing himself of a favourable circum- stance to secure to her a suitable provision, meets with my highest approbation, Mrs. C. has informed me of her marriage, but I have not condescended to answer her letter.'*
