Gentleman

I by leave to draw your attention for a few
moments to the peculiar hard ships in which I shall be involved, of it
be determined that I am to be driven from the little spot which now affords
me and my family the necessaries of life unless some compensation is
made me that may give me some support till I am able to discover
another place whereof may precure or subsistence. The Garden I now
have, cost me upwards of thirty pounds to manned it, and employed
almost all my labour for my months and it was more than half a
year before I could derive any thing form it to recompense my expense
and industry. I am totally unable to get any other ground near
this spot, which is actually essential to the maintenance of my family.
a I have Garden to attend very it; which how ever are Riot of
themselves sufficiently profitable for our support. And coin if by any
luchey accident I Should [..] any adjacent ground [which I have not
any prospect of at present] it would root me as such money to render it
of any rise to me as I have laid out on my present habitation, and
require upwards of a years time before it could reach half the perfection
to which I brought that which I now occupy. In the hope Gentlemen, that
you will consider the situation to which an increasing family may
probable be reduced of I am actually to be forced from the comfortable
little place upon which I now depend, if not sufficient recompense is
allowed me, and that you will have the goodness to compassinate
the situation of Gentlemen

Your most
humble Acct.
