Sir

Please to excuse the liberty I take in troubling you to be informed wether you have had leasure to write to Congress in my behalf; as I am certain a line from you to them would have the desired effect in my favour. The Honour of an answer will much oblige. Your Excellency’s obedient Humble Servant
