"Respected Sir,--About ten o'clock this morning, as Master George and Miss Mary were playing in the garden, a strange man looked over the hedge and called Master George by name.  He held out something to him in his hand, which Master George went out of the gate to look at.  Then the man took him up into his arms, whispered something into his ear, and walked away with him.  I was in the house at the time, and was told this by Miss Mary.  What am I to do?  Please, sir, do come over at once if you can.--Your obedient servant, Sarah Williams."
