Since the past time I have never heard again of Priscilla Thurlby; I don"t know whether she is living or dead. Many people may think I deserve to be hanged myself for not having given her up to the gallows.
They may, perhaps, be disappointed when they see this confession, and hear that I have died decently in my bed. I don"t blame them. I am a penitent sinner. I wish all merciful Christians good-by forever.
