Ti THK AMERICAN POLITE LETTER WRITER, LETTER XXIV. The Young Lady's Answer. Baltimore, July 28, 1828. Sin— Your accusation against me, in respect to keeping company with --------, is altogether Unfounded, as 1 do not make a practice of keeping company with a person with whom I have not the slightest acquaintance. I am glad to see that you are so uneasy concerning ,iie, as it is the greatest sign of your love anq esteem; and believe me, that 1 value your cha' acter and parentage more than I would Jhe person you mention, were he possessed of the riches of Peru. Indeed, it never was my notion to consider a man better by being rich, as I would rather have a husband that £ could like, were he not possessed of one dollar, sooner than a rich man that I could not like, as I consider the peace of the mind better than riches or honours—so, consider srch reports as fictions for the future, as I entertain for you the highest considerations of respect, and believe me to be constant until death. ELIZA CONS TANT.
