    • The Virginia Gazette article erroneously printed the 8th instead of the 18th. By the calendar, the 18th would have fallen upon a Monday whereas the 8th would not.
    • On Monday the [1]8th inst. died Christopher Robinson, Esq; of Middlesex, a Gentleman possessed of all those good qualities that perfect humanity: In the character of father, husband, and friend, he was excellent; for affection, tenderness, and benevolence, were the ruling passions of his breast. Few excelled him in virtue, fewer in piety. His time was spent in the uniform practice of doing good: The sick he administered to, the needy he assisted, and the poor he fed. Thus living he was by all esteemed, and is now by all lamented. [followed by a poem or verse].
