Extract from the Gazette, 1744
Printed in The Pennsylvania Gazette, July 5, 1744.

We have the Pleasure to inform our Readers that the News brought hither by two (seeming) Gentlemen from Virginia, of Georgia’s being taken (as mention’d in our last) proves not true; a Vessel being arriv’d at New-York in 11 Days from thence, and left all well there. ’Tis pity that any Persons who make the Appearance of Men of Credit, should, as they travel, think it a proper Diversion in such Times as these, to amuse their Countrymen with false Reports, which may prove in many Cases of very pernicious Consequence.
