From the Fall-Riyer Monitor.
f.. X, AVERY.

The letters said to be from Avery to
S. M. Cornell and introduced into Court
have all been published; though not per-
fcctly correct. Most every one has seen
them. But the letter from the deceased
to her brother and sister in Connecticut,
has not been SO extensively circulated
That letter, with the testimony of Mrs
Bdwell, cannot fail to convince any one,
that an interview took place between the
prisoner and the deceased, few weeks
previous to the fatal catastrophe, Much
pains has been taken to disprove this
fact There is nothing in the letter that
wears the appearance of intrigue, but on
the contrary it bears marks of the most
artless sincerity. Nor does it exhibit
any of that revengcful spirit towards the
prisoner, so often repeated in the Boston
Herald.
The original letter is in the hands of
the Committee, received from the hands
of the sister of the deceased. Our at
tention was drawn to the Importance Of
this letter, by seeing it published in the
Providence American. 1t will be seen
also, that the deceased in her letter had
copied one of the letters from Avery to
her.
