e. h. 8. RIcE-DEAR SIR-In the absence Of his Ex-
celency the Governor to whom your note Of the 18th
addressed beg leave reply that the Governor has no
nephew named Fred. A. Andrew, and that this boy is
little mposter whose story has foundation whatever
in fact The Governor saw the boy once about two years
him from entering the army . drummer, account
of his youth and evident undtness for military
massachusetts, regiments but was soon discharged for
disability, and has since been living apparently by his
wits, passing himself or as Governor Andrews nephew
as we have been informed in several instances He
made an impression all who him here bright
intelligent lad and II seems pity that he should have
beaken himself getting his living by those false pre-
fences As you have been kind enough TO take an in
terest in him perhaps you can do him good by giving
him some friendly ADVICE Very respectfully your ODE

confidence could be placed In anything he said he Is
not relative, even the most distant Of Governor An
drew; his father formerly a clerk for Mr. Brown,
but long since deceased; he does not know That Fred
steals drinks CANDLES "but he is an awful liar, and
obtains money and goods under false pretences" &c.
The best thing probably that can be done for such
youthful pecuaor Is TO publish him to that extent that
he will hereafter debared from swinding and make
him turn his attention to legitimate business for
support He is fifteen years Of age, with light and curl
ing hair light complexion blue eyes delicate features,
and about five feet in height. People will do well 70
look out for Mr. Fred. A. Andrew.
