Instantly went to his sons master, and
gave him one OF them TO release his son

When he returned home, one of these
nOtcs had been received in payment by
his son. who told his father from whom
he received il. Mr. S. went immediately

found the notes, and hoped TO lose his
master, has lost The notes, and found his
master, into whose service he was return.
