"The first object of this address, is to announce the removal of my Mercantile Tailoring Establishments from nos. 321, 333, and 581 Broadway, to a more quiet and eligible location (my own house, store, and lot), 47 Amity Street ... and I wish to assign the motives for this change, which has been in a manner forced upon me. The progress of wealth, business, and erroneous ideas, has rendered Broadway the most expensive street in the world to do business in."

Signed: Geo. P. Fox, 47 Amity, St. (near Broadway), New York.
