RECANTATION OF JOHN WEBB.

Philadelphia, March 16, 1776.

Whereas I, the subscriber, have unadvisedly been guilty of tearing out and trampling upon the names of the Field-Officers of the Fourth Battalion of this County, signed to the Association, in contempt of the resolves of the Assembly and of this Committee; and as such conduct may set a bad example to others, unless speedily retracted, I do therefore, in this publick manner, acknowledge my fault, beg pardon of the Officers of the said Battalion for the insult shewn them, and promise, for the future, to support the Association as far as is in my power.

Witness my hand:

JOHN WEBB.

Published by order of the Committee:

COLLINSON READ, Secretary.
