N, B, Perhaps the best way to bring this thing into notice that the publick may get hold of it will be to publish in yor paper that you have been informed that such is the case & if any one knows any thing of the matter let them Communicate to some person by letter naming the person— perhaps there was others beside me that noticed the thing, But as you shall think best, as there is more wisdom in thain in my head

Let the thing be Brot to notice in that way that he cant make Slander of it
