Extract of a letter from a gentleman in Philadelphia, to his
friend in this city, dated August 6.
There was a very dreadful fire in this city last night in
Walnut street, which burnt with the greatest fury I ever
saw. . . [27 lines] One occurrence I can't help mentioning,
there was a little wooden house or shed, the corner of
Walnut and Second street, upon which I dare say there were
at least fifty men had taken seats, as orderly as at a play,
it being an excellent seat for sight. . . [13 lines]
