From the Windfall Gazette, Might 5, 1770; recall that again then an article revealed in a single newspaper would typically be reprinted verbatim in others as properly. For these having hassle studying the newspaper picture, here is the textual content (paragraph breaks added):
To the PRINTERS.
Please to present the next a Place in your Paper, which can oblige a Good friend to Liberty.
As informers in opposition to Printers for publishing papers pleasant to liberty, are justly to be thought-about as enemies to freedom; it’s thought a selected description of the vile miscreant that lodged an data in opposition to Mr. Parker, Printer of the New-York Gazette, for printing the paper signed a Son of Liberty (for which Mr. M’Dougall is now unjustly confined within the widespread aim [likely means “gaol,” or today “jail” -EV] of this metropolis) is not going to be unacceptable to all of the Mates of Liberty, and particularly to the patriotic Printers on this content material; as thereby they’ll know his individual, and be premonished [i.e., warned -EV] in opposition to his detestable perfidy. The sordid harpy, whose thirst for the filthy lucre of a reward disposes him, if he had energy equal to the malignity of his coronary heart, to enslave this expensive nation, ought to be handled by the buddies of it as a typical enemy. Such is M-Ch–l C-mm-ns, native of Cork, within the kingdom of Eire (who gave the above data).
He’s about twenty years of age, 5 toes excessive, fairly sq. shouldered, has gentle brown hair, clean confronted, knock kneed, speaks with the Irish brogue accent; shines away with the reward of his wickedness in claret and white colored cloaths; and as that will not help him lengthy in his current state of idleness, he’ll probably quickly decamp to among the neighbouring colonies for employment.
It’s due to this fact hoped that Printers who’re associates to liberty, will deal with him, on utility to them, as he deserves; and that they’ll re-print this description of him, for the knowledge of the general public.
New-York, April 8, 1770.     S. P.
