Whereas I the subscriber have removed from East Haddam to Winchester, and my wife Mary utterly refusing to remove to my bed and board, by which refusal she hath forfeited the privileges of a wife - These therefore are to forbid all persons trading with, or trusting the said Mary, with any expectation of my paying the debt so contracted on any pretence whatsoever. For I shall utterly refuse to pay the same. Dated at Winchester, July 22 1771 Jonathan Alvord.
