Mr. Po Son,, -
N a late paper of yours, having nhscrwd
-u kind of nsimlusisiy from the Euemy to
lrs-yp'ssifiam, for his former illibcml reilexinn
on the t—nvern-keupcrs in general, ! think
it necessufy 30 ins-n'm the author, that, it'
he had confined hhnscit' to pzn'xicuhrs, ur
made those cxceptiuns in his lh'lt produc
tion, he would not only have escaped the
In 'lignzmcy of the Tzzvem-chper, but his
trouble ot' reply; for he cun with truth
assure him, that a natural desire to do to
all men as he would wilh they should do
to him, and not vanity (as he maliciuully
conjecturcd) alone induced him to talke
notice ()Fhsils pershrmuncc. And he would
advise: him, in sulure, when he suppnses
h'nnsclfto be injurccl, to exposc to pnbhck
censure thc aggrcssor alone, and not in
volve lmmberssssor the trunsgresiion osonc.
Your's, and the publick's servant,
A "]siavern-Kecper.
Kfi' The profcsi'or presents his com
psiments to the (fiend to Americu, and is
sorry that passton and malice should carry
him so f._tr'.ts tn tr'sitduce h'ts neighbour's same
at the expense ot'truth; which he most
certainly has done, 'm asserting that the
prosessor'had pluudered the Colltctgc of two
bat't'els of nails. The prol'ell'or acknow
ledge: (.ts the Cullege hsitd before lent
nail:) that. he did, without cottsulting
the president, desire the steward, in the
presence of:: gentleman of Vcrac'ttv, m
delivexct : culk cfnails, No. ;, and set his
. nztme thereto, am! soon afterwards gave
his reczipc for the same; that, dun'ng his
residence in College, he afsirnts that he
dors not. remember tt single instance of'a
prusessor's appbing to the president, or
the president so the socicty, sur what he
wanted to borrow, but to the person with
whom the goods are intrusted.
This has needly, as far as the prosessor
ever heartlpr knew, been the cuilom.
