method of informing the public in general, and his friends in particular, that he has
taken the well-known house, and established shop of the late Mr. Wheeler, situated in
the Market-place, Wokingham, where he purposes continuing the same business in all
its branches, and humbly solicits the continuance of those favours which have been
conferred on the above house. He flatters himself the confidence those patients have
reposed in him during the illness of the late Mr. Wheeler will be continued to him,
and he hopes his future conduct will entitle him to further encouragement. Mr. Peppin
purposes himself the pleasure of paying his personal respects to his friends as soon as
the present hurry of affairs will permit.
Persons having any claims upon the late Mr. Wheeler are requested to leave an
account of the same with Mr. Peppin; and those who stand indebted to the estate of
the said Mr. Wheeler are desired to pay the same to Mr. Peppin---Mrs. Wheeler owes
it to Mr. Peppin to say to her late husband’s friends, that he had much reason to be
satisfied with Mr. Peppin’s whole conduct; she cannot therefore but wish his success.
