DUTY to myfdf, (without any desire to expose
the conduct of Nathan Beaks and Stacy Potts
at this time ) requires me to inform the publick that
Adam has not got, nor has ever had, any written or
verbal engagement for his freedom my life-time, .nor
any encouragement for it after my death, except he
proved faithful; and that I have not received any
thing from him, or any other person by way of a con
sideration for his freedom —That he has proved very
unfaithful by a course of disobedience, and attempt
ing last Summer to get to New- York, which occasion
ed me great expence in gaol fees, money paid the
guards, and riding more than two hundred miles
after him—That notwithstanding he has been encou
raged by the above men to leave my service ever since
the 30th of last October, and is now employed in the
service of one of them, against whom I have brought
my action in the Supreme Court, as soon as I found
an attorney who had not received a retaining fee a
gainst me. jwf . DAVID COWELL.
WERE it probable that Dr. David Cowell in
tended to submit the validity of his engage
ment for my freedom, or the decilion of the perform
ance of my part thereof, to the impartial tribunal of
the publick, I would chearfully lay the fads before
them, having no doubt but the undeniable proof in
my possession will carry inevitable conviction before
ary tribunal in heaven or on earth ; but as he'ftill
pretends to be desirous of a legal determination, it is
not necessary to give the publick that trouble at pre
sent: However, since he has mentioned two Gentle
men, I sincerely believe, without " any desire to ex
pose their conduct," because that would be the only
means of rendering their characters more amiable;
yet, as they will not defeend to take notice of his
notable performance, I might be juftified in exposing
his conduct by open design, when perhaps attempt
ing to violate his folemii engagement with me would
appear the Icaft exceptionable part of his character.
But I will forbear, only observing, that if a person
Should become notorious for having defrauded his
father, robbed his brothers and fillers of their patri
mony, and by venality and debauchery, render his
person as nauseous as his character is contemptible,
an exposition would avail no more than the repeated
curses of an injured country on that Doctor by whose
negligence and mifconduC t numbers of brave soldiers
have been sent to eternity, at a time when their Ser
vices here were most necessary. Wishing that every
foot may wear the shoe that fits it, while I continue
to pray for the prosperity of that government which
protests the rights of a poor Negro.
Jeb. 28. 2w* ADA M.
T WOULD recommend to the three quaking au
thors of the two illiberal pieces of calumny signed
Adam, hereafter (in their preaching for their father
the devil) to deliver the plain dictates of reason in
the natural language of truth, and no longer ad the
hypocrite to me and their too indulgent country ; as
it will never admit a doubt what "government is pray
ed for by the whole triumvirate, while the men are so
well known by their friends, and their characters and
cause blacker than the Have they want to keep in their
debt, and consequently in their service his life time.
Seeing therefore those mifereants, who having loft
all sense of truth and decency, have "rendered tibir
persons fit companions only to runaway negroes, ind
their congenial spirits "amiable only to demons, it will
be thought "juftifiable, by open design ( "for that Doc
tor who has in his possession from the head of the de
partment, authentic credentials ofhaving "acted in the
military hospitals near two years as an industrious,
humane and fkilful Senior Physician and Surgeon,
and always manifefted great zeal to the American
cause) to "fend to eternity, those whom it would dis
grace any country to receive, if they give any moles
tation when it shall be judged best to call forceably,
for the unfaithful disobedient negro, which fliall be
as soon as any gentleman offers able and willing to
receive him, and give a just restitution to his matter.
