You know why I want to find this man, and what I mean to do when I find
him. I leave it to your sympathy for me to answer the serious question

inquiry will suffice for the rest. The personal appearance of the wife,
and the extraordinary contrast between her husband and herself, are
certain to be remarked, and remembered, by every stranger who sees them.

"DEAR MADAM--I hasten to reply to your favor of Saturday's date.
Circumstances have enabled me to forward your interests, by consulting a
friend of mine possessing great experience in the management of private
inquiries of all sorts. I have placed your case before him (without
mentioning names); and I am happy to inform you that my views and his
views of the proper course to take agree in every particular.
