/#[** Diary entry]
called according to His purpose,' and since there
never was a moment when the Duke did not sink
into the utmost insignificance in comparison with
His good will and pleasure, such must necessarily
follow.

"The poor Duke's next letter, dated July 13th I
will copy throughout as it refers to his affliction--in
the loss of his Grand Son."[10][** This book uses Endnotes.]

This letter is interesting as giving a glimpse
of that softer side of the Duke's nature, generally
lost sight of in contemplation of his
sterner characteristics.

/*
<sc>London</sc>, July 13, 1846.
*/

<sc>My dear Miss J.</sc>,--I have received your letters
of the 12^{th} and friday last on the subject of the loss
I recently sustained of my Grandson, the eldest Son
of my second son. Poor boy! he died on Tuesday!
By the Mercy of God! the second son, an infant has
recovered. But at one time I was apprehensive that
the grief of the Mother who was nursing the youngest
child would have affected Her Health; and that
we should have lost that Child; and eventually the
Mother. But thank God! Both are now safe! I am
very sensible of your kindness upon this occasion. I
wish that it was in my power to tell you that I have
any prospect of being able to go to see you! But I
cannot expect to be able to do so at present! Believe
me, My Dear Miss J. Ever Yours

/*
Most faithfully,
<sc>Wellington</sc>.

A blank line between an opening Block Quote and an opening no-wrap is OPTIONAL, unless the Project's Comments express a preference.
