DEER SUZAN,

I set up all Knigt to set down to rite u a bout a horrit deed that has

put all the grate Law yers to work, and has been a drawin Thiers from

the Nayshuns hies. It is a shock King crime, no less than a shoot in at

the Queen. The assassin-hating will-in was quite in low life—nort but a

pot-boy! (not as that is any dis-a-peerage-ment; for I here there is

Potts a arch deecon, and Fill pots a Bishup;) but he did not ware his

best to go before her Mad-jest-i, but own lie his work-a-day close,

which I think was tatterd and torne, for I hurd mast her say he went

there with ragged Side intenshuns. One thing is de-litefull to no, that

the Queen got off as well as the pistoll, witch the will-in tuk. From

the way he prescented the weppon, it is thort he is one of the leveling

classes, though it is won-durd what his aim could be. Sum say he wos

like Sir Wall-ter scots True Bar door,

"Burn-in with luv—to fire for fame;"

which I cant see, as that true bar door came "beneath his lades windo;"

but this pot-boy went into the O pen park, and turn'd the Queen quite

pail, a shoot in thru the pail-ings! The Public in dig Nashun nose no

bounds: the Public Houses of the People, with their benches and their

bar, are to Congrat tulerate the Queen on her he scape from the pot-boy.

He was a errand will-in; and as he was tuk in one Park, i understand he

is to be tried by another, wot is as good a Judge as he. His name is

oxford, and a hug lie feller he is, tho no feller, I am tolld, of the

Oxford wot has a call edge on the banks of the Ices, which is a river,

you No, and, I spoze, is all ways froze. They say the grand jury cant

help find in a true Bill aginst him, which reminds me of my own true

Bill, who lives with farm her Constant. Give my luv to him, and all so

kep it for yourself; and so for the present good buy. Yours till deth,
