To The Public

Whereas Jacob Beitler, of Tredyffrin township, Chester County, has insinuated and endeavored to make it believed, that a certain Corner Stone has been planted by me in a wrongful manner, with a view to encroach upon his land - now this is to certify, that all such insinuations are entirely unjust, and without foundation; inasmuch as the said Corner Stone is too far on me, and that the planting of it was made known to Jacob Beitler more than three years ago - a few days after it was done, who then acquiesced in it and continued to acquiesce in it long afterwards - since these insinuations he has declined settlement with me, and I think that it is due to my character to make this publication.
