cruel fortune Who would believe my
dear Lucretia, that one possessed of as
much riches, should find himself sur
rounded by such miserable poverty D.
My misfortunes have no end, my disap-
pointments at every step, persecute me.
Surrounded by distress, by pains, by
poverty, and by melancholy, what is to
become Of ne, my dear Lucretia i will
bury myself in profound silence, which
will be best suited to my unhappy soul.
Oh what misfortunes, SO irremediabIe,
what absence, SO rigorous, from be-
loved father, from a cherished wife and
a fond sister The martyrdom ofTole-
do was nothing when compared to mine!
How shall find consolation to sustain
my life, dearest Lucretia (? Picture to
thyself, my love, thy companion in a
strange city, without money and withou,
friends But all will be happiness for
me, if | can press you to my heart.
oh my Lucretia, the groans Of my
heart are re-echoed in the aeighboring
helds and mountains Of the city! And
the only consolation which meet here
is that which is ministered to me by a
young gentleman of this city (of nine
teen years. and his amiable mother Mrs.

more than crazy WITHOUT having the
means to join you in the State of Penn
sylvania to fold you again in my arms.
l shall however, most speedily, when !
am enabled to do so, return your embra.

is insupportabIc-my griefis fast hurry
ing me to the grave, and my eyes con-
,iuually shed tears, when consider that
thou art the only companionI hive in
this strange land. But as soon as Hea-
ven permits me, l will hasten to your
tender caressses.
