Page v3:1708
Whereas I, Jonathan Fowler, Esq., one of His Majesty' s Judges of the Inferior Court, for the County of Westchester, in the Province of New-York, did some time ago sign a protest against the honourable Continental Congress, which inconsiderate conduct I am heartily sorry for, and do hereby promise for the future not to transgress in the view of the people of this Continent, nor in any sense to oppose the measures taken by the Continental Congress.
I do also certify, that some time past, being at court at the White-Plains, I heard a person say, whom several people present believed to be a Lieutenant or Midshipman of the Asia, man-of-war, that the Captain of the Asia intended to take Captain Sears up, and that there would soon be delivered, gratis, from on board the man-of-war, great quantities of paper money, in imitation of Continental currency, which would be printed with the types taken from Mr. Holt, of Virginia.
As witness my hand: JONATHAN FOWLER.
New-Haven, November 29, 1775.
