To Capt. Shelaly.
J---- and M----- H------t Inform their customers, that
although they have been publickly advis'd by Shelaly, to
work lamb skins into moose-leather; an expression they don't
very well understand, unless he would mean, to advise them
to sell lamb-skins for moose--. . . [7 lines]
The great bluster you make, has so intoxicated you, that you
imagine every body little, except your own dear shelf; and
that your Shelaly will be a sufficient protection; it may
not therefore be amiss to compare you, to a ranting and
boasting men, who like a drum, makes a great noise, but look
into it, and there is nothing: . . . [13 more similar lines,
signed] J. and M. Haslett.
