A / HEREAS a report has been propagated about this city
VV th^t 1 carried certain Remonstrances to York Town
in order to get them signed, therefore, in justice to myfeif,
I thus publicly deny ever carrying any such papers, or being
privy to the carrying of them, consequently the report is
groundless, and without foundation. *
