had written by contract for BagIals and
Ward who were the fole owners Of IT,
Being however the writer OF the hoGory,
he was though: by Mr.. Burr the mott eli

He therefore requeRed Mr.. Wood tovait
on Barlafs and Ward, to make an agree

mifed that lie and bis friends would bear
the expcnce which might be agreed upon"
/" There was one difficulty in the GP-
preGion which it was neceliary immediate.
~ to remove: In the preceding week
copy of the hiaory had been TENT to Lon
don by the Juliana, for publication. It
was neceaary TO countermand the order
of publication Immediately. Had hi,
tory been publilhed in London, The ior'
preHion of il here would not have 2a~er-
cd the intended end. The.fupPrefi0n was
to be univerfal and entire. After its PUB,
LEGATION in London, il would icon have
reached America. To this Po!a', there

GATOR were early directed"
g On the Iz;h of December the brig
Recovery was to fail from this port to
Greenock, and it was not kno"n When a.
a9ther opportunity mighs occur. II was
therefore neceGa5y TO tranlinlt orders 10

publication OF tbe copy until further M
