graft, we experience inconvenience by the scarci
ty of them : That we understand that Richard
Foiwcll, printer, of Philadelphia, has had it ta
contemplation 10 print that public record; and
that he hath obtained partial countenance Irom ma
ny individuals; but that he has delayed prolec*.
ting the work, ia expectation of encouragement
fr#m government, that may adequately indemnify
him. We, therefore, refpe&fnlly l'olicit, as the
publication is necefTary to be disseminated among
public bodies, that Congress will, an their wisdom
.render him such additional encouragement, to that
which he has obtained from private individuals*
at to enable kim to prrceed with the work.so that
your Memorialists may be enabled to purchase co
pies of that record for themfelve9.
