To the Freemen of the city and liberties of Philadelphia.
Fellow citizens,  It is our duty to inform you, that our
enemies are advancing upon us, and that the most vigorous
measures alone can save this city from falling into their
hands: . . . [7 lines]
  And we do must earnestly request that you will meet your
fellow-citizens at the State-House to-morrow morning, at 10
o'clock, there publicly to determine what measures we shall
pursue.  The bells will be ordered to ring, . . . [signed]
David Rittenhouse, vice-president.
