ANXIOUS TO COLLECT BACK TUITION.
To prevent the disagreeable necessity of having recourse to law, I most earnestly request those in arrears to come forward and make immediate payment or settlement. From those whom I think unable to pay cash, old Corn will be taken at twenty shillings and new at fifteen shillings per barrel. Brandy, or anything else that I may want, will be received at the market price, delivered at my house. Tallow, Brandy, and some Corn are wanting at the present time. I also wish to hire a young man who can come well recommended as a Bar-Keeper1—Generous wages will be allowed.
The Public's humble Servant,
