It is a sabbath evening; but I take up my pen to address you on a holy theme. I fear, I may be too late; or rather, that had I written before, it would have been alike fruitless; but my object is good, and, in such a cause, I shall have some pride, even tho' I fail. It is rumoured, around the court at Washington, that our effort to obtain from you, the sacred ashes of your deceased relatives, is but to quicken a similar application from the Congress of the United States. This ensinuation is as dishonorable to us, as it is fal<mutilated> itself.
