Curse of the Blue Tattoo: Being An Account of the Misadventures of Jacky Faber, Midshipman And Fine Lady
“James Fletcher, Midshipman On Board the Essex, on Station Dear Jaimy, If you are reading this letter, you will know that I met Davy in Boston when his ship made port here. It was a great joy to see him and it was an even greater joy to hear from him that you were well the last time he saw you.
It was with great sorrow, though, that I learned that you have not gotten even one of the many letters that I have sent to you by way of the ships of the Royal Navy that have come to this harbor. It fair broke my heart, it did, to know that you have not been assured of my love for you and have probably gone off into the arms of another by now. Alas, I have not gotten any letters from you, either, and that has been the hardest part of my life here, not knowing how you fare and if you think of my poor self, if at all.
I must now write of something that may distress you: In talking to Davy, he said that you said that you didn't get a letter when the Shannon docked there. Jaimy, I sent a letter on t...hat very ship by way of a very kind and honorable officer who knew your address and promised me that you would get the letter.MoreLess
