Excerpt from The Last Days of Mary Stuart, Vol. 3 of 3: A Novel The advice given by Essex to his friend Tracy respecting Mary Leslie was remembered, and acted upon; the chance of his destined bride allowing her affections to be engaged by an other, brought hope and consolation; and hence arose the ardent strain in which his letter was couched, urging her to lose no time in placing herself under the care of those sent to convey her to England, and testifying the most lively impatience for her arrival.
