Jedide Porter

Whereas Jedide my wife hath absented my bed and board (for reasons known to herself) and as a conciliation may hopefully take place I hereby chearfully offer to receive her into my favor if she will return, or honourably support her where I shall direct for a reasonable time, while she may manifest a disposition of reconciliation and return. But as I appregend she may be hunder undue influence from prejudiced persons and bad advisers who seek to harbour her and dissuade her from returning; I hereby forbid all persons harbouring or trustinf her on my account, without my express order or direction. Isaiah Porter. Conventry, Oct. 9, 1788.
