inches long, and addressed to " George Turner, efq ;
" to the care of John S. Dart, efq; Charleftown,"
was sent by colonel Mitchell, then D. Q. M- G. to co
lonel Henry Hollingfworth, at the Head of Elk, to be
forwarded by him as addressed : But Charleftown hap
pening at that time to be closely invested, it is proba

deliver it to the owner, Whoever therefore, has such
a Box in possession (the contents being books) will
please to give notice of it to Nathaniel Burwell, efq;
in Virginia or the subscriber in Philadelphia.
And the person who took from the late general

conveying it to him, is desired to reflore it without
delay or inform him where it may be had.
