Wythe's plea in the Virginia Gazette (Williamsburg) on January 31, 1771, for the return of a volume of Barrow's Reports [sic] missing from the Capitol.

Second notice in the Virginia Gazette, February 7, 1771, with the typesetter's error corrected.

For three weeks in early 1771, George Wythe ran a notice in the Williamsburg newspaper, the Virginia Gazette, requesting the return of a missing third volume of Burrow's Reports:

I MISS a third volume of BURROW's REPORTS. Whether it was lent out I forget. Perhaps some Gentleman's servant carried it from the capitol by mistake last October court. Whoever will let me know where it is, I shall be obliged to him for the information.

GEORGE WYTHE.^[1]

The notice ran from January 31 through February 14, 1771. In the first notice, the title was misprinted as "Barrow's" Reports. Wythe corrected the typesetter's error after the first week.
