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
<
lb

</

another place whereof may precure or subsistence. The Garden I now
<
lb

</
lb

have, cost me upwards of thirty pounds to manned it, and employed
<
lb

</
lb

almost all my labour for my months and it was more than half a
<
lb

</
lb

year before I could derive any thing form it to recompense my expense
<
lb

</
lb

and industry. I am totally unable to get any other ground near
<
lb

</
lb

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
