this morning Trday, August e7l and ragged with great
fury until it laid the whole bio of buildings with the
exception of warehouse in ashes The loss present
cannot be correctly estimated but suppose that 500
will not more than cover it, The loss to merchants
glad to be able to state will reach half that
amount the balance will fall upon the insurance
