Philadelphia, November 9.
Whereas George Folger, master of the brig Richmond, on his passage from London and Nevis to Nantucket, was taken by the private sloop of war called the Congress, by which means said Folger was plundered of receipts and notes included to the amount of twenty-one hundred pounds sterling, which are refused him, though often requested. This is to forbid all persons taking any drafts on any merchants in London in the name of Thomas Boylston or George Folger, as they may be assured they will be protested, particular care being taken to prevent every species of fraud that may be executed by said receipts.
