The Pennsylvania packet, or, The general advertiser — Lancaster, Pa.;Philadelphia, Pa., 1779-11-25 00:00:00, page 3

Extract of a letter from a gentleman in high office and of
the most refpedable chara^er in the State of Massachu
setts-Bay, dated November 4.
" I am pained in my inmost foul at the unhappy affair
at Mr. Wilson's house. I think there ought to be an ar
ticle in the Declaration of Rights of every State securing
freedom of speech, impartiality, and independance at the
bar. There is nothing upon which the rights of every
member of society more depends. There is no man so bad,
but he ought to have a fair trial, and an equal chance to
have the ablest Counsel, or the Advocate of his choice to
fee that he has fair play, and the benefit of truth and
law."
For the PENNSYLVANIA PACKET.
The following testimony, in favor of Dr. Joseph Cauff
man, a native of this State, we hope will not be unac
ceptable to the natives and lovers of Pennsylvania. It
is published by a flranger to Dr. Cauffman, but a friend
to merit and science :
Translation of a letter from Dr. Maximilian Stoll, Pro
feffor of the practice of Physic in the University of Vi
enna, to Mr. Joseph Cauffman, of this city, dated Vi
enna, November 1, 1770.
S I R,
“ T HAVE an account to give you of your son, which he
l can no longer give himfelf. You the father of this
hopeful young man, cannot possibly deplore his death
more than Ido, who was his second father, and most in
timate friend Please to hear his history. He received
the degree of Doctor of Medicine in our University, when
he had given proofs of his abilities to admiration. He got
himfelf the love and affection of the most refpedable peo
ple I took him into my house, and admitted him to my
table, and to my heart. Soon after this he was appoint
ed second Phyfichn in my hospital with a salary. Having
spent three quarters ofa year in this way, the war between
Prussia and A^ftria broke out, when he difeovered an in
clination to be appointed a Field- Physician. That re
(portable office was procured for him, in which he fo®n
obtained the esteem and loveof every body, even of the
Emperor. He had the adrainifiration of the most refpeft
able Hospital, and did his duty in it with admirable dili
gence and extraordinary approbation. But when through
his merits he had paved the way to fortune, he became a.
facrifice to his labors, and a prey to a malignant fever. He
diedin Bohemia, far from me, and far from his native
country. The news of his death dissolved our city in tears,
and made me inconsolable.
Deplore him, you, his father.—l pardon you.—l de
plore him with you. But let us not in our grief forget,
that HE hath done this, without whose will neither a spar
row can fall from the roof, nor a hair from our beads,
and who alone knows what is belt for us. Let us mourn ;
but let as mourn like Christ ans."

them unable to carry on the business in all its branches.
The branch of business they mean to carry on, is the
printing of blue handkerchiefs, with deep blue grounds
and white spots ; also very neat gown-patterns of the
famecolour, which they will warrant to be as durable in
their waffiing and colour, as any imported from Europe
or elsewhere, or they will have nothing for doing them.
