ONCE MORE,
I William Crawford, advertise a strumpet, Rebecca Moreton, who says she is my wife, who has eloped occasionally for 15 years past, and has been absent the principal part of the time–I do forwarn all persons not to credit or harbor her on my account as I am determined to pay no debts of contracting. I know her to be a drunkard, a strumpet, and to swear falsely, for she has swore the peace against me three times, without a cause. She and her children and her companions have been robbing my house, breaking my doors, locks and windows, taking my money and everything they could carry away, and running in debt. WM CRAWFORD
