   Pearce Replies to Rogers’ Accusations
MR. HALL,
   In your paper of the 20th ult. I read an advertisement signed by JAMES 
ROGERS, highly injurious to my reputation. For the information of persons who 
may not be acquainted with said ROGERS, you will pleased insert the 
underwritten:
   I HAD JAMES ROGER’S Bond for $100 and on the 17th of March, 1804, I settled 
with him, and there remained due to me $80 on the bond and $7 for a saddle he 
had of me; for which $87 I took his note. He asserts there was never any 
dealing between us except the saddle --  the contrary of which I shall prove 
by unquestionable testimony. The notoriety of ROGERS’ character will operate 
on the mind of every unprejudiced person in my favor.
   As what I have asserted will be proved in Court, a farther refutation of 
his assertions in unnecessary, those who are acquainted with him will pay no 
respect to what he had advanced.
