WHEREAS, my wife Mary has threatened to run me into debt
#1
"WHEREAS, my wife Mary has threatened to run me into debt, at the stores and elsewhere; therefore I forbid all persons trusting her on my account, as I shall pay no debts of her contracting after this date.

BARTHOLOMEW JOHNSON

Lansing, July 1st, 1859"


==============

The Lansing State Journal has digitized some archives from their 1859 editions when it was called the Lansing State Republican. I got a kick out the above passage.
