in the most provoking manner By one Jeremiah Swain hostler
to the Deputy Quarter master in Baltimore, in Consequence
of this Accident this Gentleman has been Bound By the law
and is now prevented to Join the Army to the prejudice of
his Character and that of public service which he Can not
attend, unless your Exelency will relieve him, if you think the
man may be properly punished for an action which may
equally affect other officers in such Cases he would beg that
satisfaction in order to prevent any thing of that nature for
the future. Mr Lindenberger is the magistrate Before whom
the mob brought them, not without striking that officer and
abusing him with the most insulting names either to him or
the nation he Belongs to. I Can assure your Exelency that
that Gentleman who left the french service for that of this
Country allways Bore an Exelent Character and is Generally
Esteemed as well for the mildness of his manners as for his
military Bravery.
I am with the Greatest Respect
Sir
Your most humble
