DEAR FRIEND,

the gentlemen, and after talking fully onthe

discrimination of quitting this city to-mor-
row for New York, appeared surprised,
and persuaded me not to leave it before
Tuesday next, the 18th, when he expected
me 70 dine with him. and little more con
versation | suppose. On consideration |
thought that stay three days longer might
show calm aud patience on say part, which
would give TO this step all the dignity in
tended. though am persuaded that no
more viii be obtained than what is AREA.
dy impaired. Their tact appreciation &
good wishes are evidently secure aud they
do not see any d fIiculty that may prevent
the citizens OF the UnIted States in attend
ng personally or seeding supplies for this
objecs, provided The public laws should
n !, be openly violated Your demand Of
permission or leave of absence is cansiderd
lfnprscticable, and Mr.. NJ. thinks easier
. take the risk upon yourself at once
however we shall consider this subject wiki
much reflection when we shall meet a, n.
York. On the 18Th early shall Ger ainly
leave this city forPhiladelpbia, IRON whence
will write 20 YOU again, and wi,hou, much
delay proceed to New York. In toe mean
time request Of you to have svery tking
ready for departure before the last day OF

cessa y of this letter, not thinking prudent
