" On the Ist of June last, I received a letter
4rorn Francis Freeling, Secretary to the General
cost-Office, Londo', informing me that I bad, in
the course of last winter, refused a letter, which,
Navin been returned to the dead letter office, was
found to contain intelligence of some importance,
and that he was ready_ to deliver the letter, with
its contents, to any friend of mine authorised to
l'eeeive it ;. or he would send it•to me by post, if I
referred that mode.. Accordingly, I requested
.111_e would send it to me through this channel,,. as
being the' most expeditions. In the course of a
-levy days I had his answer, with the letter inclos-
Led, which contained
.a hundred pound Bank of

I cannot .possiblY trace whence this bounty
!lath came, but I adore the gracfous care of Pro=
Ildence in sending .this most seasonable relief to
that useful Charity, for which it was designed ;
and the more 'se, as I had refused this letter
from the supposition that it was sent only to put
• to the -expence of postage (as I had before
l'eceiveci several. of that. description) and hence it'
had been in the Post...offiee -near five months.—
'lle•.care and pains.also, 'which Francis Freeling,
the Secretary of the Dead Letter Office, took to
find me out, and-to send me in my retirement, this
111O1ily, which might be concealed and enabezzled.,
'without a possibility of,:detection, . excite in my
41ind sincere' hankfulness for that integrity of
Principle, the Gentlemen are possessed_ of, who
tit the PUblic Offieeslander Government', a proof
to me that they act as under the iufluence of that
Ilisdom that cometh from above, and. I feel hap-
py in taking this oliportunity of returning them,
s well as the .unknown generous Donor of this
bounty, my most hearty thanks.
