WEDNESDAY

arriv. td safe at the home of your brother. I had the
pleass tre of seeing his lady first, and she told me that I
could find Mr. -- at a place about a mile fur-
ther I was so anxious to see him. that
although. "I had walked fiteen miles that day, I went
on. I TecogniFed him as saon as I saw him;
his eyes and yours, in their expression, are alike. I
returned with him to his house, and I can assure you that
I could not have been treated better in my own home
than I w •as there. Your brother is a perfect American
and hunter ; and I believe that ho never could live
again in I iurope. So far as I can see, be lives happy
and con tented with his wife. I am not much
acquainte d with the females of America ; but if
they rem, sable her, I—and you know how deeply
I am in t crested in Manchester—nearly feel in-
clined to is arry one of them. At present his lady is
sick, but tt e last two days better; I believe she must
have been very handsome when your brother married
her. In short, if you could see her, you would approve
his choica. By some misfortune on board the steam-
boat, my car pet bag hod miscarried, so I could not de-
liver the pa ::ket which you entrusted to rae; but I feel
certain and c an assure you that it is not lust; even my
money and c lothes are in it, and if we should not find
it, I am comp cited to draw on New York in your favour,
on the same 1 louse where your brother's second draft has
been honoure d. Mr. Charles Wilson has left for Now
York, from : Slew Orleans, and probably I ehall draw on
him. Ile ha a succeeded well, collecting nearly 11,000
dolls. in Ne tv York. I have received for your house a
draft on Taylor and Co., Manchester, for 3,500 dolls.;
a draft on S cholefield and Co. for 1,500 dolls.; a draft
on Jennings and Co. for 300 dolls. I have sent all these
drafts on by Mr. Wilson; you will receive them by next
steamer. The stock of cotton on hand in New York
and New Or leans is very large, and continues to depress
the market. The quotations generally at New York are
about 1-6th d. per Ib.; but I don't think it can last long;
there can be hardly further decline. You must excuse
my bad writing, as it seems to me I am sitting beside a
baker's oven. I am nearly melted with heat. I shall
write more by next steamer. I am very much pleased
here—have been out hunting, and am nearly burnt black.
lam afraid you will not know me when I return. Pre-
sent my best respects to my house, and all concerned—
my regards to the ladies, and my very best love to Miss
Matilda.—l remain respectfully yours,

"LEWIS SICIIARD.

" N.B. I have told your brother that the packet cOn-
tains pictures, a letter of credit, and letters from his
mother and sister."

It is perhaps unnecessary to repeat that the writer is
an impostor, and totally unknown to the gentleman
whose name he has so unwarrantably made use of.—
