GOOD SPUNK.
This is to inform the public that Mr. Thomas Fletcher's assertions that he has made, concerning my leaving his bed and board, are not true; for I do positively declare that he told me to go home, for he would not maintain me any longer. Accordingly I went out, and he then fastened the door—and much more to the same import might be written; but previous to this, with other things, to let you know how narrow contracted his soul is, I asked him for three cents, that I might have the privilege of seeing the Waxen Work, and he would not grant it! Is not this enough to describe his true character? If not, I could write a week on the same subject.
FANNY T. FLETCHER.
N. B. This is to forbid all persons purchasing any bed and bedding, and wearing apparel, and also, my child's apparel, as my husband has them in his possession, and refuses to let me have them.
