WHEREAS various reports have been railed and
propagated to prejudice my character as Deputy
Quarter-Melter and Deputy Forage-Master General to
the Eastern Shore of the State of Maryland, by some per
son or perlons unknown : Let this serve to inform luch
persons, that if they will declare their allegations to the
Quarter Matter General, Forage-Master General, or
any Public Body properly authorised to take notice of the
fame, that though their charges should prove groundless
(which I trust wdl be the case) I „ill thank, and freely
forgive them, as they mny have been in poled on, or
have intended it for a pubic good. But mould they thus
flanderoufi, lurk behind the face and attack my cha
ra&er in the dark, by base insinuations, not daring to
ft<p forih and support the charges, they may hereafter
depend on my using my utmost endeavors to seek them
out, and when found shall treat them according to their
demerit.
