^^/ "ER^AS my . husband, Timothy Hubbard,
▼V has advertised me in the public prints, and
forewainud all persons entertaining me, &c.---Al
tho' 'tis very difagreable to expose to public view,
the miseries and calamities of a diftra&ed family,
yet felf-defencc obliges me to tell the world, That
about three years since, Iwas married to a certain
I imothy Hubbard ; the whole of which time since
I have fuffered intolerable abuse and cruelty from
him, mostly in fecr@t---have been in constant fear
of losing my life ; threatuing to have it dedreyed by
violence has been common. About fix months since
(My patience being spent) I applied to the civil au
thority of this town for direction ; they feat for
him, when, before two Justices, he confeffed all I
laid to his charge, and most faithfully promised re
formation—l was advised to make tryal a fecand
time---! accordingly made a fuikeient trial, and
found 1 must either quit ray life or myhufband I
made my choice, which produced the foragoing ad
vertisement, and in which he promises fair, indeed !
---he always was excellent at preuifirg, but vary
forgetful to perform. Heinvitee me to return and
live with him---ifhe has perform'd his engagement
to his country, I rand go to the camp before Boston
to doit, but should not be surprised to find him as
perfidious to his officers as to me. He has loft no
house or estate to return to, to which he has any ti
tle---this inconvenience I have been no Granger to
since ray marriage. 'Tis net possible for meto involve
him in debt, where he is known. I hope he will
disgorge all his thirst for bleed in the cause of his
country, and return home ahuman creature, which
would greatly rejoice his much injured wife, who
would then be willing to live with and maintain
him, or (ifhe should choose) would give my con
fentthat any person should harbour, entertain, de
tain or credit him, that was willing so to do.
