Hall's Wilmington Gazette March 7, 1799
   The Subscribers give notice that the sum of $234.62, being a collection 
made by the Ancient York Masons in the State of South Carolina, for the poor 
and distressed sufferers by the late Fires in this town [Wilmington], has been 
remitted to them for the purpose of being distributed amongst those who are in 
the greatest distresses from the losses sustained on those occasions. They, 
therefore, request that such persons as conceive they have claims to the 
benefit of said collection, will signify the same to them on Monday next, the 
11th inst., on which day they will meet together at the Court-House for the 
purpose of receiving such claims and distributing the shares of the above 
donation. They request also of the inhabitants of the town, generally, to 
inform them who of the sufferers should be preferably entitled to a 
distributive share of the same.
