and promising to make a woman of uncommon beauty. she is also
eminently gifted with a talent for music. We express but the
opinion of others entitled to more weight than our own, when we
say that in her performance upon the piano, notwithstanding many
disadvantages attending her tuition, she is not excelled by any one
of her age of either Sex in the United States, to which she unites
extraordinary powers of vocal music.

Whilst the younger sister has more particularly interested our
feelings, we would remark that the elder sister, of considerable beauty
and well accomplished, was within a few weeks married to an
officer of the U States Army. the Brothers, younger than the unfor=
tunate subject of this letter, are fine and promising youths.

We would make one more suggestion in behalf of this interesting
family; their Uncle upon whom they are now dependant, is
considerably advanced in years, and should death deprive them
of him, they might in the Event have to look for Assistance to
him, whose reformation is one of the objects of this letter.

With Great respect we subscribe ourselves
