NOTICE is Hereby given to all whom it may
concern, That counterfeits have appeared of the
Notes issued from this office, struck on copperplate, in
rhe following form—" At fight pay to the Bearer
Twenty Dollars, for which this (hall be your Sufficient
Warrant." Which notes are signed by me, and di
reaod to Mr. John Swanwick, Philadelphia. There were
some Notes of the fame kind for Fifty and some for
Eighty Dollars, which may perhaps be allo counterfeit
ed, though none have been yet difeovered. Thecoun
terfeits are badly executed, and might with care be de
tested, but (from an apprehehfion that such arts would
be practiced) I long since defitted from iffaing them,
and cancelled thole which were brought in for payment#
There are now oyt only sixteen thousand fix hundred
and seventy dollars ; and as no great inconvenience can
arise from putting a (top to the circulation of so trivial
a sum, the public^re cautioned against receiving any
Notes struck on copperplate and signed with my name.
All persons holding those which are genuine, are de
sired to fend them to Mr. Swanwick and receive the
money. ROBERT MORRIS.
