and do defy any persons to appear to my face and
prove that I have bought to the amount of one
Shilling's worth of Goods from them Since the arri
va' °f la id Ships : And Ido further fay, that to the
best of my remembrance I cannot recoiled to have
bought to the amount of fifty pounds worth of Dry
Goods on speculation, Since I have been in trade:
I am, therefore really sorry that my fellow-citizens
Should be so unfriendly to me, and unjust to them
selves, as to propagate a report of this fort.
