TO THE PRINTER. [heading]
Sir, Dec. 25, 1806.
I find it much beneath my character to put myself on an equal footing with a Mr. Parss, by keeping a public Correspondence with him; I, nevertheless, deem it indispensable to acquaint the Public (for the first and last time on this unworthy subject), that Messrs. S. & P. C. Ouckama sold in September 1796, to the said Mr. Parss, the Plantation La Resource, containing One Hundred and Twenty-five Acres of Land, and situate on the West Sea Coast of this river, for the enormous Sum of TEN THOUSAND GUILDERS! payable on the so very short and ungenerous time of Ten Years only! - viz. One Thousand Guilders every year, with the so illiberal interest of Sixty Guilders per annum on the whole Capital Sum, till fully paid! It is true, he is (as he observes in his address in your last Gazette) only four years backwards in his so very heavy installments, and uncommon high Interest; he owes no more than two fifth of the Purchase Money (exclusive of the Law Expences); and it is indeed very ungenerous of me not to have waited longer, especially when an Estate is sold so much beyond its value, and when "the sum" is (and no doubt has since long been) ready for me!!!
In fine, Mr. Parss promised me some months ago, that he always would be thankfull to me for my indulgence towards him; and I am now very happy to receive his heartfelt acknowledgements, in every respect so consistent with his behaviour in regard to said Contract.
I am, Sir, &c. P. C. Ouckama.

Notice is hereby given, that all who have any Demands against, or are indebted to the Subscriber, are earnestly requested to come forward and settle their respective Accounts by the New Year, as it is his intention then finally to close his business. In consequence, he informs the Public, that he has authorised Mr. I. Van der Heyden to receive his Debts, and his Receipt will be fully allowed by
Stabroek, Dec. 26, 1806. P. C. Mickerts.

Absconded on the 17th instant, a tall stout Negro Man, named Samson, of the Mandingo nation, with country marks in his face, and formerly the property of Mr. Biers, a Carpenter. He is supposed to be about the Plantation Hague, or Edinburgh, on the West Coast. Whoever will lodge him in the Barracks, or deliver him to the Subscriber, shall be thankfully rewarded with One Joe, besides the usual country Bounty.
First Island, Demerary River, Robert Mains.
