United States Lottery Office,. April 7, 1777°
THE Manager# of the United States Lottery have
the phafuie to inform the Public, that the demand
for tickets has been fully equal to their most sanguine
expectations in the different States, 2nd that they have
received accounts of the disposal of a very great number,
particularly in the foutbern States ; but as the Manager
who went to the eastward as far as New-Hampshire is not
yet returned, they apprehend it may not be prudent to
commrncedrawing at the day formerly appointed, to wit,
the 10th of April : This, together with the possibility of
an interruption at the very time of drawing (from the
enemy) which would occafiou much conlufion, induces
them to peftpone the drawing for some littletime longer,
and as soon as the precise day is fixed the Public will be
duely informed : Trey are now rolling up the numbers
for the wheels, which are finifhed and left for public in
fpj&ion at Mr. George Claypoole's, in Walnut street,
who i 3 directed to show the wheels to such persons as may
incline to examine them.
