The following is a copy of a letter which was wrote by a lady of this city, to Capt. S---s, and Capt. M’D-----l; : and as it contains sentiments which I think may be of some use in moderating the proposed violent and very extraordinary measures relative to certain persons, I should think it a piece of false delicacy to suppress the publication of it. A friend to justice and humanity.
The following letter was some nights ago thrown in among the Sons of Liberty. : New-York, March 17th, 1775.
