Forged Letters.

TO THE EDITOR:—Some silly or malicious
person has been busy, the last month or two,
addressing letters, in my name, to clergy-
men, physicians, and other persons through-
out the country. Several of these letters
have been sent to me by the gentlemen to
whom they were addressed, and I have
heard of others. Some of them appear to
be commercial letters, and genuine, and have
put the persons receiving them to consider-
able trouble, while others contain statements
and propositions so absurd that intelligent
persons will not suppose they are authentic.
The object of this public exposure of these
forgeries, is to guard against the possibility
of deception, so that the forger may have
no motive for the continuance of his labors.
From allusions in some of these forged let-
ters, it is evident that the writer of them has
been instigated to the course taken, by his
connection, or sympathy with the woman
who was implicated in the attempt to take
Jane Trainer to California.
