Sr:
Though I have not the Honour of being per-
sonally known to You, Yet your great Character
for uprightness & humanity having reach'd my
Ears encouraged to hope your pardon for this
Address. I have been unfortunately confined
in Newgate almost three Years; but am now
advised I am fully intituled to the Benefit of
the late Insolvent Act: have therefore advertized,
delivered in my Schedule, & in all respects com-
plied with the Directions of the same; and was
by the Keeper of ye aforesaid Goal carried up
to Hicks's Hall
on Tuesday 24th: ult: in hopes
of my Discharges but by the Justices remanded
back' till the 8th: Instant, Tuesday next. I shall
avoid giving You the smallest Circumstance of
my Case, as I detest any thing that may [..]
be construed unfair, but beg leave to add my
Warmest Wishes (for I have no pretensions to in
treat the Favour) for the Pleasure of yr: Presence
in Court on that Day: Which would assured by
procure Justice to
Your most humble
& most oblig'd Sert:
