It is a matter of extreme regret that we want original evidence of the last remarkable days of our friend; and we are, therefore, obliged to interrupt the progress of his correspondence, and to supply the deficiency by a connected narration.
非常遗憾的是, 我们需要我们朋友最后非凡日子的原始证据;因此,我们不得不打断他的通信进程,并通过连贯的叙述来弥补不足。
