Mrs. Capt. Morfort, arrived here at few days ago, by the Steamer "Orphan Boy", in pursut (sic)? of her Husband, who she expected to find here, Capt. Morfort left here with his boat for N. Orleans about one week ago, his Wife on learning that he had gone South took the Steamer Pre-Emphor? Pre-Emption?. She being the first boat bound for New Orleans, And proceeded on after her husband, in hopes of meeting him at N.O. or previous to arriving there, as his boat might be on her return trip, Mrs. M. acts very imprudent in travelling alone, without any protection, besides I heard some very hard stories against her, which I have every reason to believe, to be true, Now I set her down among the LOW. LOW.- These particulars I will communicate to you verbally, when we meet.- Capt. M. does not expect his Wife, he thinks she has gone to New York, where she anticipated going when he last heard from her. I have not heard from Egbert, since he left, but look for him back in 2 or 3 days, I saw Mr. Alexander today, he informs me that Mr. Chappell's family are all well.- I think of giving him the 2 2nd? clerkship? of the Boat -
