  PHILADELPHIA.

  I came hither but ten minutes ago, and write this letter in the bar ofthe stage-house. I wish not to lose a moment in informing you of whathas happened. I cannot do justice to my own feelings when I reflect uponthe rashness of which I have been guilty.

  I will give you the particulars to-morrow. At present, I shall only saythat Clithero is alive, is apprized of your wife's arrival and abode inNew York, and has set out with mysterious intentions to visit her.

  May Heaven avert the consequences of such a design! May you be enabled,by some means, to prevent their meeting! If you cannot prevent it--but Imust not reason on such an event, nor lengthen out this letter.
