Salem, May 30, 1775.

Whereas we the Subſcribers did ſome time ſince ſign an Addreſs to Governor Hutchinſon, which, though prompted to by the beſt Intentions, has nevertheleſs given great Offence to our Country; We do now declare that we were ſo far from deſigning by that Action to ſhow our Acquieſcence in thoſe Acts of Parliament so univerſally and juſtly odious to all America, that on the contrary we hoped we might in that Way contribute to their Repeal, though now to our ſorrow we find ourſelves miſtaken.—And we do now further declare that we never intended the Offenſe which this Addreſs has occaſioned, that if we had foreſeen ſuch an Event, we ſhould never have ſigned it; as it always has been and now is our Wiſh to live in Harmony with our Neighbors, and our ſerious Determination to promote to the utmoſt of our Power, the Liberty, the Welfare and Happineſs of our Country, which is inſeparably connected with our own.

In Committee of Safety, Salem, 30th May, 1775.

The Declaration of which the above is a copy, being preſented and read, it was voted unanimouſly that the ſame was ſatisfactory, and that the ſaid Gentlemen ought to be received and treated as real Friends to this Country.

By order of the Committee,

RICHARD DERBY, jun., Chairman.

Whereas I the Subſcriber was ſo unfortunate (ſome Time ſince) as to ſign an Addreſs to the late Governor Hutchinſon, ſo univerſally, and ſo juſtly, deemed an Enemy to American Liberty and Freedom, I hereby in this public Manner declare that at the Time I ſigned the ſaid Addreſs, I intended the Good of my Country, and that only; but finding in my Sorrow it had not that but quite a contrary Effect, I hereby renounce the ſame Addreſs in every Part, and hope my injured and afflicted Fellow-Countrymen will overlook my paſt Miſconduct, as I am ready to aſſiſt them in their Struggles for Liberty and Freedom in whatever Way I ſhall be called upon by them.

Londonderry, June 6, 1775.

John Prentice.

To the Publick:

Whereas I the Subſcriber ſigned an Addreſs to the late Governor Hutchinſon, upon his leaving this Province: I now declare my doing ſo was without any View of injuring the Liberties of my Country, which I ever held ſacred; nor had I the leaſt Deſign of giving Offence to any Individual within the Circle of my Acquaintance, and had I conceived ſuch an Addreſs would have been ſo generally diſapproved of, I ſhould by no Means have ſigned it; and hope the Publick will freely forgive this Error in their humble Servant.

Whereas I, the Subſcriber, ſigned an Addreſs to the late Governor Hutchinſon,—I wiſh the Devil had had ſaid Addreſs before I had ſeen it.

"I, the Subſcriber, being deeply affected with the Miſeries bro't on this Country by a horrid Thirſt for ill-got Wealth and unconſtitutional Power,—and lamenting my Unhappineſs in being left to adopt Principles in Politics different from the Generality of my Countrymen; and thence to conduct in a Manner that has but too juſtly excited the Jealousy and Reſentment of the true Sons of Liberty againſt me, earneſtly deſirous, at the ſame Time, to give them all the Satisfaction in my Power; do hereby Sincerely ask Forgiveneſs of all ſuch for whatever I have ſaid or done, that had the leaſt Tendency to the Injury of my Country, aſſuring them that it is my full Purpoſe, in my proper Sphere, to unite with them in all thoſe laudable and fit Meaſures that have been recommended by the Continental and Provincial Congreſſes for the Salvation of this Country, hoping my future Converſation and Conduct will fully prove the up-rightneſs of my preſent Profeſſions.

Bradford, April 9, 1805.

The Subſcriber being apprehenſive that her Huſband, JOHN BROOKS, will contract debts on her account—this is to forbid any perſon truſting him on her account, as ſhe will not ſatisfy any debt ſo contracted after this date—altho my compaſſion for him is ſuch, that he ſhall not want for any thing I can help him to—knowing him to be a poor, forlorn young man. I cannot but pity his condition, and ſincerely hope he will alter his way of life for the better—tear jealouſy from his heart—bury in oblivion his unhappy temper—and take up a firm reſolution, that he will turn from the error of his ways, to a better courſe of life, become a good citizen, a friend to his wife and children, and not hearken any more to his ſuppoſed friends (tho greateſt enemies)—this is the ſincere wiſh of the Subſcriber.

SARAH BROOKS.

Marblehead, March 27, 1793.

Whereas a certain greedy worſhipper of Plutus has attempted (canker worm like) to blaſt the tender bloom of my reputation, by miſrepreſenting an occurrence that took place between us on the third inſt.—I take this method, as the moſt ſalutary remedy, to put a ſtop to its dangerous ravages. I will confeſs candidly every particular. Sometime ſince, this man came to me with an account I had in vain demanded of him 4 months ago for horſe-hire; having compared it with my own memorandum, I found three charges over and above what I owed him, and the remainder a third higher than uſual; finding him unwilling to diminiſh his unjuſt claim, I repaired to his houſe laſt Thurſday to ſettle with him, and paid him in full the amount of his bill, ſubtraction made of his three charges: Perceiving his intention was to make me pay them again, I pocketed the bill; his pugiliſtick arguments to get it back again made me obſtinately refuſe it; and thanks to a gentleman then preſent, I eſcaped his dirty hands. Unwilling to enter the field of Themis with ſuch an antagoniſt, I will place his receipted account into any impartial man's hands, and ſubmit cheerfully to his deciſion.

FREDERICK JORDIS.

An exceeding good opportunity for

parents (in theſe very expenſive times for every neceſſary of life) to provide their children with good and comfortable maintenance, cloathing, ſchooling, and a trade, but little known and underſtood in this country.

Mr. Erving propoſes to receive as Apprentices to the Cotton & Woolen Manufactory (now going on at New-Haven) any number of Boys or Girls, from the age of ten to fourteen. They will be inſtructed in all the various branches of the factory, well cloathed and fed, and taught to read, write and cypher; and parents may be aſſured that the moſt particular attention will be paid to the morals, as well as to the education, of their children.

Thoſe who can but ill afford to maintain their children, have now an opportunity of binding them to a trade which muſt, in a few years, be peculiarly beneficial to them and advantageous to their country.

Mr. Erving will thank thoſe that have an inclination to put their children out, to call on him, at his houſe, No. 42 Marlborough-ſtreet, Boſton, where they can be more particularly informed of the nature of the factory, and the advantages which muſt eventually accrue to their children from a general knowledge of this uſeful branch of buſineſs.
