[Lines from Shakespeare, unattributed, in 3 column essay on
honesty]
Who steals my purse, steals trash;
'Twas mine, 'tis his, and has been slave to thousands:
But he that filches from me my good name
Robs me of that which not enriches him, 
And makes me poor indeed.
[signed] Phocion, Edenton, North Carolina, January 13.
