SUNDAY EVENING, Sept. 10, 1871.
General b. W. Bsice: .s.sf
Sir:-I have to inform you that am UNI
able to close my accounts, and that | owe
the frightful amount of about 1853, 900,
which sum | have lost during the last few
years in stock speculations, going deeper
and deeper, in hope of retrieving myself. |
,have no excuse or mitigation of my crime
to offer, and propose to take the full conse-
quences of my sin. had thought week
ago of escaping from New York, but be-
lieve have done better in returning here to
deliver myself up, as felt was going to
do.
| can. of course, make no pretence Of ex-
cuse for the systematic deceit have prac-
tced on you and the ADVANTAGE have taken
of the special position have held, and feel
that you, especially, have cause to be justly
memorable against me. | have been led on
by the infatuation that always attends the
course entered on, hoping always to re-
cover my loss and conceal my crime. |
believe it is really relief to be forced to a
discovery, for / have been in hell on earth
for wears, and the alterations of hope, and
fear have gone through and constant care
toayoid detection were becoming too strong.
desire to turn over any property have
as a small set-off against my deficiency
and after giving any information that will
assist in settling my accounts, or, if posi-
Bile, in recovering portion Of what have
lost, expect to take the full punishment
awarded for my offence.
In Justice to two parties in this city
through whom | have made some specula-
tons, | wish to say that they are perfectly
innocent of any knowledge that | was
using public funds. There are small balan-
ces with each of these parties to my credit
whenever the accounts are closed. The
losses made were almost entirely in New
York, with one house there, whose accounts
/ hold subject to your orders. 10 en-.
deayored to induce them to make good the
amount lost with them, which they knew
was public money, but they have. refused
have been trying to make up my mind
to this confession for some days, and was
on the point of doing so this morning in
your office, but could not bring myself tc
say it, and wanted time to write my inno-
cent wife, whom this frightful information
will kill. God forgive me for what | have
done to her and my children. All | ask
from you or the authorities is that, if pos
sible, some small sum may be left her.
I inclose keys of my safe and box, con-
tanning all my old accounts. &c. My pre-
sent vouchers, &C., are in the hands Of
my clerks, and receipts in safe. The clerks
are all of them perfectly innocent of any
knowledge of my deficiency.
shall remain at the house, No. 1923 X
street, till informed what action you have
taken concerning me. There is no fear
will go away now.
