AUGUST 11, 8 o'clock
It is this : That every year the agent of a certain large estate in Albany , N. Y. , forwards to France a large sum of money , for the use and behoof of one Honora Quentin Urquhart , daughter of the late Cyrus Dudleigh , of Albany , and wife of one Edwin Urquhart , a gentleman of that same city , to whom she was married in her father 's house on January 27 , 1775 , and with whom she at once departed for France , where she and her husband have been living ever since . Thus by chance , almost , have I stumbled upon an explanation of the tragedy we found so inexplicable , and found that clew to the whereabouts of the wretched pair which is so essential to their apprehension and the proper satisfaction of the claims of justice . With great consideration I sign myself , Your obedient servant , ANTHONY TAMWORTH . AUGUST 11 , 8 o'clock . I was so overwhelmed by the above letter that I found it impossible at the time to comment upon it . To-day it is too late , for this morning a packet arrived from Mr. Tamworth containing another letter of such length that I am sure it must be one of complete explanation . I burn to read it , but I have merely had time to break the seal and glance at the first opening words .
