| dc.description | TEXT: Police Depot / East Melbourne / Oct 20th 1879 / / / Dear Sir / / On my return to the Depot on Saturday Mrs Murphy & her daughter came to see me & showed / me form letters the […?] lady had received from you. I could hardly believe my eyes when I / read the letters. I did not think it possible for any man having the pretension to being a / gentleman […?] the last she received from you – your behaviour has placed me in a most / unpleasant position. / / The Miss Murpheys have been known to me ever since they were born and have always come / to me for advice since the death of their father – You met the […?] lady in my house & I am / responsible to her mother for what took place there – on my return from Sydney I was told you / had engaged yourself to her & I asked her if you had expressed a wish that the engagement / should be kept a secret she told me you had said nothing on the subject &thought it desirable / that she let her friends know of his engagement – Your last letter taken in conjunction with your / previous ones is to my mind one of the most […?] productions it was possible for any man to / write to a young lady and I think you may consider it fortunate that the […?] lady has not father / or brothers that could take her part and inflict […?] punishment on you that it could make you / more careful in future how you conducted yourself when you were allowed into a gentleman’s / house – as our acquaintance must now cease I wish to be informed what you desire should be / done with some things you left in my house. / / I am Sir / Yours truly / Frances Hare / | en_US |
