Notice, Coped from a Pennsylvania paper.
Whereas my husband Benjamin [Carson] has advertised me as having left his bed & board; but as he has no bed nor board (he having made over his property to his children with a view of starving me) he has now left me to shift for myself - the second time. This is therefore to forewarn all persons harboring him, until he provides for my maintenance and gives security for that and his good behavior.
To all good people who wants him described/ To running away he has long been addicted;/ He deserted his country, being scared at a ball / And ran home, the greatest hero of all. / For such service as this he obtained a pension, / How well he deserved it, I need not mention; / But one thing for all I needs must acknowledge, / He's the worst husband God ever made to my knowledge. Susanna Carson, Clearfield County, Jan. 28, 1818
