| On the river Hudson. In the town of Troy. Lives Miss Sarah Judson Full of life and joy. 'Tis for that sweet creature This epistle's meant; If it does but reach her. I shall be content. |
The following address was found on a missive which passed through the New York office on or about the 14th of February, and was secured with a seal representing Cupid taking aim at one of his victims with a revolver:
| Cupid's mother has supplied him With "six shooters" for his bow; When he'd arrows I defied him; Now, alas! he's laid me low. Here I send, done up in paper. Fanny May, my heart to you. I think you will keep it safer Than I've done,—so now adieu. |
The town and state were in prose.
| Send this, Post Master, if you are willing. To John M. P——, a darned old villain. Let it go without Postage Bounty. To Union Valley, Cortland County. |
