Abigail Stoneman informs the gentlemen of Newport, and the
public in general, that she has opened a coffee-house in
town, at the sign of the King's Arms, a little northward of
the turning to go over the Point-Bridge, in the house
formerly Mr. Nicholas Carr's; and where she will undertake
to prepare entertainments for ladies and gentlemen, on the
shortest notice, at reasonable rates, & be greatly obliged
to those who will favour her with their company, to whom she
hopes to give entire satisfaction, as she is determined to
spare no pains to accommodate her customers in the best
manner, & render every thing as agreeable as possible. As
she has a very good dancing room, any civil, polite company
may have it furnished with music and lights, at a quarter of
a dollar for each gentleman, to dance in from 6 to 9 o'clock
in the evening, during the winter, except of Thursday nights
when the assembly will be held in it. She returns her
sincere thanks to old friends and customers, and solicits
the continuance of their favours, which will be always very
thankfully received, and most gratefully acknowledged.
