PERKINS TO PHILADELPHIA IN 1792

  Gar Travis writes:  "I have a Wednesday, July 11th 1792
  edition of the Columbian Centinel, printed and published (on
  Wednesdays and Saturdays), by Benjamin Russell in State-
  Street, Boston, (Maffachufetts).  I understand the spellings
  and wish we could still "ufe" them.

  The second page numbered 138 in this No. 35 VOL. XVII
  (whole No. 867) under the dateline Salem, Massachusetts
  has some news regarding Mr. Perkins.

  "We hear that the ingenious Mr. Perkins, of Newburyport,
  has been sent for to Philadelphia, to execute the coinage of
  the United States."
