Peter Pelham.  Begs leave to acquaint the publick, that he
would be willing to settle in this city, upon meeting with
suitable encouragement.-- He proposes to teach the
harpsichord, or spinnet, and to instruct his scholars, if
desired, in the rules and practice of the thorough bass, as
he has been a teacher, in constant practice, for more than
20 years, 15 of which he has been organist of churches in
Boston and Virginia, and has applied himself to the study,
practice, and teaching of music, as his only business: He
therefore flatters himself, that such long experience has
qualified him to give full satisfaction to his employers:
Those who may be pleased to become such, in this place, are
requested to signify their intentions to the printer of this
paper, at the Exchange, said Pelham intending to return,
with his family to this city, if a sufficient number of
scholars are offered.
