Did you, or did you not, once visit the city o

Of Richmond, Va! and did you, or did you not
give the note of certain firm, payable at a GER
tain date for said coffee, and did not shortly after
your return the article of coffee fall greatly il
value and your coffee consequently prove lief
handed speculation, and was not the firm that you
so kindly intended to enrich so ungrateful as tC
talk of remunerating you with a criminal prose
cuton when their note come round for payment
And was it not remarkable coincidence tina
Just about that time you were taken with knC
of a-get-awayishness to North Carolina!
