Chu-f of the United Stale, Ilntctives: Desr Sir; 1 en

lank note riats. Ihil plate waa made for me hy on, of
the heat ana-ravers of the United KUtoa, ss you will toe
when jousonie to esaraine it, 1 paid $iWiO to have it done
well, with the hope of making a apaedy fortune. Yon
ma; he aniiona to know the engraver's name; an ffl os to
any that he no longer dwolla on this earth, that he haa
already gone the road which I will anon have to travel,
after having spent twelve years of my life in defraud
ing my follow mm. I have paid many thna
and dollar to kei-p oat of prinon, althonga I
have never bean arrested In my life To-day I am poor In
pnree and broken In spirit; upright before the world, but
amity in my own ctnscienoo. I have abandoned oonnter
lit ing for ever, and destroyed every vestige of my guilt.
Ho p this plato 1 send yon, which. I assure you, haa never
been used, r'or two reasons 1 am prompted to take this
ronrss my own flonseien:e, and the dark walls of the
firison, which I see more visible before me within the
sst few month, sinoo 1 have eoen so many of my old
ronfaileratea in crime snatched hy your officers and
thrutt into prison.. I have now come to my annses, and
resolved to clean myself, and register a solemn vow
to reform and lead an honest life. If I ever touch
this business again may I nevr hope for mercy.
P. H. 1 have lived a foarfnl life. (Since I have made ths
above resolves I feel a relief to my mind which I have not
felt before for twelve years; hut never too lats to repont.
It is nucleus for yon to try to trace me out, for whon this
reaches you I will be gone for foreign countries. Very rs
apertfully, , l. 0.
Accompanng the above letter, which had boen
forwanliMl from Philadelphia by express, was the
rlnta for printing counterfeit ten-dollar national
bank notes referred to In the document The plate,
which Is In four picc.cn two for the face and two for
the back d splendidly engraved on the Unest of
Ftcel, the. latter bearing the Imprint of John Hellers
A Hons,TiefllcId. Experts and detectives who have
examined It pronounce It the best plate they have
ever men, and they ure of opinion that no notes had
ever been printed upon It, and that It had not been
transferred. In fact, the paint which eugravcrs put
on newplntesto prevent runt had not been cleaned on.
Colonvl Whlteley thinks that the writer of the letter
mid the engraver are Identical, and c Hurts will be
made to secure him.
