Whereas my husband, JAMES WELLS, has tho’t proper to advertise me for an elopement, which I never made—I think myself under the necessity of giving the public a true statement of the matter, which I am able to prove to their satisfaction. It is well known, that my elopement was by his own consent and free will, and the cries of three small children, for something to eat, which I could not bear to hear. He has not provided victuals nor cloathing for his family this five years past; and had it not been for my near connexions, we might have starved.—At the time he advertised me, I went, by his consent, to my sister’s and took my children with me, purely to supply the present need and stop the cry for bread, and returned home again before I knew anything of the matter. So much out of character has his conduct been, that its beneath any of the human species but those of his own character. He says that I have a bond for 160 acres of land; all the lands, and negroes and property, that he has was mine, part of which he has sold, and spent the money to no advantage to himself or family.
