The reverse reads "To James Read Esq. (presumably the brother of Goerge Read)...to all concerned to appear at the Court of Admiraly to be held at my Chambers on Saturday next at 10 o'Clock in the Forenoon..." signed Fras ( Francis ) Hopkinson (1737 - 1791). The case is of Libel for Services for "Barney Murray, Charles Campble & Robert Stewart vs. Capt. Stewart of Schooner Rebecca & owners etc." The claim, written and signed by J. Ingersol (sp?) states that "they met with a wreck...(and) they assisted in saving a part of her rigging & sails etc. but the Master and owners refuse to pay them a proportionable part of the salvage as a recompense justly due for their Labour." From the Francis Hopkinson Family Archives
