A letter from Rachel Revere to Paul Revere is part of the Clements Library exhibit, 'Spy Letters of the American Revolution.' The letter, which included currency of 125 pounds, was intercepted by a British general and never made it to Paul. (Photo courtesy William M. Clements Library)

The Letter reads:
"My Dear, by Doctor Church I send a hundred & twenty-five pounds & beg you will take the best care of yourself and not attempt coming into this towne again & if I have an opportunity of coming or sending out anything or any of the Children I shall do it. Pray keep up your spirits & trust your self & us in the hands of a good God who will take care of us. Tis all my Dependence, for vain is the help of man. Aduie my Love from your affectionate R. Revere."
