lit first allusion to tbt matter waa
la the Almanack for 180(1, and la ap
pended to a compliment which ba paya
to a highly respected Quaker corro

la 1809:
"A. It. Q. la thanked for bla season

remind blia that bla communication

to pay double poatage on them, we
would advUe him In future to leave off
the wrapper or pay the poatage."
Again lo 1810: "E. W. and other

will not be noticed."
A little later: "0. 8. our Itoatoa
