To the Printer of the Pennsylvania Packet.
SIR, , . ,
WHEREAS I am a married man in the town of
New Orleans, on the Miffifippi, in Welt-Flori
da, ^nd since am urjuttly charged with being married in
Philadelphia, on account of which I am by the Priest
separated from my wife, and my efFe&s kept from me
untA I can prove to the contrary. And whereas several
letters h ve b en wrote requeuing the truth thereof,
but no answer has been received to either of them : I
therefore leg yen will give this a place in y^ur three
next papers after it comes to hand ; and I flatter mylelf
I may be excused for taking this method to reqoeft the
favor of the different Priests and M:nifters in Philadel
phia to examine thc'r records, and if it appears that any
person of my name has been married by either of them,
that they will make she fame known through yeur pa
per as fbon as peffide, together with the woman's mai
den name, nd describe the perlon married to her.—
Knowing myfil innocent of the charge, 1 take this pub
lic method t^ defy any perion to prove my beiag marri
ed in Pnihdelpnia or chewhere, otherwise than in New-
Orleans before mentioned.'
