[John Hughes To His Excellency Thomas Sim Lee & the Honrble

Relying on yr Humane Dispositions, I Presume to approach yr
Honours in the most suppliant manner, in hopes I may be found one
of the many Examples of your tenderness and mercy. Your Humble
Petitioner most Honourable Gentlemen Begs leave to offer to Your
Consideration, a series of Continued Hardships Undergone in the
many Campaignes he has served in 1 5 in the service of Britain & 4
in the American Service: which together with the Increase of Age
(now 51 years) Has occasioned many Corporal Disorders in Par-
ticular Rheumatic Pains, allmost without Intermission By which
means the Duties of Camp & Fatigues of march are Become too
arduous for me to Endure. My Wife and Family in the next Place
Honour'd Gentlemen thro' Poverty and Informity are Suffering for
the Common Necessaries of Life, During my absence. All which
taken Gentlemen into Your Consideration, I hope will Induce you to
Commiserate my hard Fortune & to Discharge from the Service
Your most Humble Petitioner and Obedient servant
