FREDERICKSBURG, September 14, 1771.

I HAVE an indented servant to dispose of who is a good house joiner, and has about 4 years to serve. His fondness of liquor, and the many temptations to debauchery in this town, render him quite unfit for me. I dare say he will make a good servant to any country gentleman.

JAMES MERCER.
