You will Excuse my Boldness but it is In A Case of distress to Let yo now the Circumstance That we two are in with many others.

We have taken all opertunitys to meet with Mr. Williams the American Agent but we Cannot finde Him we go day after day to his Clerks they Always tell us He is Coming home when we Show our pass and Lets Them now how we ware prisoners to the English they Tull us they Can do Nothing For us.

We have had one Shift of Clothes From the Clerks The man that we have boarded with will Keep us No Longer and keeps our Clothes they Will not pay our Board For tim paste nor to Come So we Expect to Starve In the Streets. We Can get No Ship at all, nor work, The other prisoners Are on board Cap Cuningham Ship we have Spoke With him but he will not take Any More For he Says hes got So many that he Does Not Know what to do with them. So I Remain Your most Humble Servant
