TO SM. ITOKEII.

Sta,—Agreeabit to your request, I send a messen-
_gee to acquaint you that Joanna Southcott died this
morning, precise4:at (oar o'clock. The believers in
her mission, supposing that the vital functions are
enly suspended fora few days, will not permit me
to open the body until some symptom appears which
may destroy all hopes of resuscitation. I am, Sir,
Your obedient servant,
• Piccadilly, Dec. 27.. RICHARD REIXE.
(CIRCULAR.)
Sta,—As you desired to be present et Mrs.
iktetbcott's arouchcinent, had it taken place, as was
then expected.; the friends considee it as their duty
to inform yod and all the medlar' gentlemen who
had that ingestion, that to all appearance she died
this morning etacily as the clock struck four.
Cat* is taken to preserve warmth, in the body as
she directed; and it is the wish of the friends that
you will see her in her present state.
