Creek, on one of which (m ar the centre oj the tract)
is a very good mill-feat. The Jituation is in many re

from England this Fall, I made it my business to
purchase a large quantity of fcvcral forts of Dry
Goods, in order to fell them out again at an ad
vanced price; Ehich report I do declare to be falfe,
and do deffrany persons to appear to my face and
prove that I have bought to the amount of one
Killing's worth of Goods from them since the arri
val of laid ihips : And 1 do further fay, that to the
best of my remembrance I cannot recolle& to have
bought to the at, punt of fifty pounds worth of Dry
Goods on fpecuiarion, since I have been in trade:
I am therefore really ferry that my fellow-citizens
should be so unfriendly to me, and unjust to them
ftlves, as to propagate a report of this fort.
