information_n and_o direction_n to_o such_o person_n as_o be_v incline_v to_o america_n more_o especial_o those_o relate_v to_o the_o province_n of_o pennsylvania_n that_o the_o value_n and_o

for_o the_o first_o such_o money_n as_o may_v be_v carry_v as_o piece_n of_o eight_o advance_v thirty_o and_o good_n at_o least_o fifty_o per_fw-la cent_n say_v i_o have_v 100_o l._n sterl_n if_o i_o
