No. 1 Petition of Patrick Graham.
To the Honorable the Deputies for Maryland met in Conven-
tion at Annapolis.
The humble Petition of Patrick Graham of Port Tobacco in
Charles County sheweth, that some time ago he very justly
incurred the displeasure and resentment of the County & the
censure of the Committee of Charles County for a breach of
the Resolves of the Honourable Continental Congress, by aid-
ing a certain John Bailie secretly to land and dispose of sundry
goods imported by him contrary to these Resolves; Your
Petitioner sincerely laments his imprudence & ill conduct, &
being deeply sensible of his offence, with contrition for the
same, and his most solemn promise & assurance never more
to do, or encourage any thing inimical to American Freedom,
he most humbly solicits this Convention, that he may be
restored to his former rights of a Citizen, as he has already
suffered greatly, not only in his own Person, Property and
reputation, but should he continue much longer in the present
situation, his Offence must reduce an innocent wife & four
young children to beggary & ruin.
We the Subscribers being satisfied of the hearty repentance
of Patrick Graham set forth in the above Petition, do recom-
mend him to the consideration & clemency of the Honorable
Convention.
