comfortless situation to any printers of tolerable
sist.¹⁶

In spite of this threat, Goddard never changed his news-
paper to a daily, and Graham's quarto sheet continued.

Philip Edwards began the publication of a rival
daily on July 13, 1792, the Baltimore Evening Post.
It is probable that the rise of another printing
office diverted from Graham some of the custom that he
had formerly seized from the established printers of
Baltimore, for, while the Repository continued, only
one pamphlet printed by Graham after 1791 is extant.
That one is Granville Sharp's Letter ... to the Mary-
land Society for Promoting the Abolition of Slavery,
printed by P. Graham, L. Yundt and W. Patton (a later
reprint was aad© by Yundt and Patton alone) in 1793.¹⁷
Ivans, it is true, attributes several publications to
Graham during 1792, undoubtedly because advertisements
for them occurred in the Repository, some of which
state, "Just published by the printer hereof ."¹⁸ While
it seems certain that Graham did printing, besides the
newspaper, in 1793, there is the possibility that his
productions were fewer than in the previous year, of a
more ephemeral nature, and did not survive.
