These are therefore to inform all and every person or persons, that it may concern, that I shall not hold myself, my heirs, executors or administrators, bound in any manner or degree whatsoever, for any contract or contracts that she may have made, or that she may hereafter make, since her elopement; neither do I myself, my heirs, executors or administrators consider him, nor them or either of them bound, neither will I pay any debt or contract that she may have made within the said State, since our intermarriage; as she did, at that time, reserve separate estate to herself,, and now hath a sufficiency of such estate to support her. Therefore, if any person or persons shall have made any contract or contracts with her within the State whatsoever, he, she or they, is to and may look to her alone, her heirs, executors, administrators or assigns for payment; as I am determined for myself, my heirs, executors and administrators, or assigns, for many and obvious reasons, not to pay any such contract or contracts whatsoever, contracted within the said State; nor will I, for myself, my heirs, executors or administrators, pay and discharge any contract or contracts that she may have made or may make with any persons within the United States since her said elopement.
