To the P ÜBLI C.
A BOUT seven years ago, I the fubferiber, John
/1 Whiteman, purchased of William Sitgreaves, of this
city, Vendue-Marfer, a piece of about twenty acres oflind,
situated in the Northern Liberties, on the River Schuyl
kill, adjacent to Mt. Robert Morris's country feat. The
price was five hundred pounds, to be paid with interest,
for which separate bonds were given. Four of the bonds
were paid nearly as they became due. I had in the mean
time fettled and improved the land, built a house, a barn,
stables, a wotk-fliop, in-which I had four looms. As foou
as the enemy got possession of this city, these improve
ments were totally and without the least exception burnt,
defrayed and carried away by the worse than savage foe.
Myfelf and family of eight children were driven from their
homes without flielter and without money, in the most in
clement part of the hft winter, to seek another habitation.
Mr. Sitgreavas and his family at this time, were in the
happy and uninterrupted enjoyment of domestic felicity
among his friends and countrymen in this city. I have
repeatedly applied to, and tendered him the remaining
one hundred pounds, , with the interest ; he has as often
peremptorily and in the most decisive terms refufed to re
ceive it ; in confequen eof which I paid it agreeable to
Law on the 16th instant into the hands of Mr. Snowden,
the Treasurer, and have his receipt for that part which
was forfeited to the public.
Upon this state of fads, which I pledge myfelf to the
public is a true one, I must take leave to aik Mr. Sit
greaves, whether he and those others who chose to flay in
the city are the only persons who ought to reap the advan
tages which sometimes result to individuals from the cala
mities of war—while those who did all in their power in
the service of their country, and fuffered so severely as I
have done, must bear all its fatal mifchiefs ? I have several
times since the payment of the money demanded my re
maining bond of Mr. Sitgreaves, which he has refuted to
deliver; I must, therefore, in justice to myfelf as well as
the public, hereby caution all persons from taking any as
signment of any bond or bonds from me to the said Sit
greaves, as I am determined never to pay the fame wnlefs
compelled by Law. JOHN WHITEMAN.
