It is an advantage to have it so far from this part of the kingdom. He promises fairly; and, I hope, among different people, where they may each have a character to preserve, they will both be more prudent. I have written to Colonel Forster, to inform him of our present arrangements, and to request that he will satisfy the various creditors of Mr. Wickham in and near Brighton with assurances of speedy payment, for which I have pledged myself. And will you give yourself the trouble of carrying similar assurances to his creditors in Meryton, of whom I shall subjoin a list, according to his information. He has given in all his debts; I hope at least he has not deceived us. Haggerston has our directions, and all will be completed in a week. They will then join his regiment, unless they are first invited to Longbourn; and I understand from Mrs. Gardiner that my niece is very desirous of seeing you all, before she leaves the South. She is well, and begs to be dutifully remembered to you and her mother. -- Your's, &c. E. GARDINER."
他離開這一帶遠些，只會有利于他自己。他前途頗有希望，但愿他們到了人地生疏的地方能夠爭點面子，行為稍加檢點一些。我已經寫了信給弗斯脫上校，把我們目前的安排告訴了他，又請他在白利屯一帶通知一下韋翰先生所有債主，就說我一定信守諾言，馬上就償還他們的債務。是否也可以麻煩你就近向麥里屯的債主們通知一聲？隨信附上債主名單一份，這都是他自己說出來的。他把全部債務都講了出來；我希望他至少沒有欺騙我們。我們已經委托哈斯東在一周以內將所有的事統統辦好。那時候你如果不愿意請他們上浪搏恩來，他們就可以直接到軍隊里去，聽見內人說，外甥女兒很希望在離開南方之前跟你們見見面。她近況很好，還請我代她向你和她母親請安。愛·嘉丁納
