vided for to which Mr Edgly Levtenant of the same Regt I belonged
to agreed to furnish an able bodye man on my paying him 700
dollars to which I agreed and payd and he gave me a discharge and
I thought I was At my Liberty to provide for my family and
Endeavering to work for thear subsistance I was taken from my
poor famaly and Confined in Irons for no offence but only to
fill up a Class for others and Encurag Rogs in selling me Like a
slave which is a poor Encuragment when a man has Complyed with
Everything that Could be requsted of him And afterwards to be
sold for a slave I hope your Excelance will be pleased to take in
Consideration the Condition my poor famaly is now in a perishing

Power of Congress to comply with your request by sending any
Ships of Force in to the Cheseapeake for the Protection of the Navi-

I have no Doubt your request would have been complied with
most chearfully had it been in the Power of Congress
By the Act enclosed you will see that all the Continental Vessels
of Force were preengaged in a most important Service before your
Letter was received.
