PETER RUGG,
The Missing Man.
FROM JONATHAN DUNWELL OF NEW YORK,
TO MR. HERMANN KRAUFF.
Sir, Agreeable to my promise, I now relate to you all the particulars of the lost man and child, which 1 have been able to collect. It is entirely owing to the humane interest you seemed to take in the report, that I have pursued the inquiry to the following result.
You may remember that business called me to Boston in the summer of 1820. I sailed in the packet to Providence, and when I arrived there, I learned that every seat in the stage was engaged. I was thus obliged either to wait a few hours, or accept a seat with the driver, who civilly offered me that accomodation. Accordingly I took my seat by his side, and soon found him intelligent and communicative.
