Sir Your letter, found me, as ill and as unhappy as man can be. This shall be my last intrusion on so painful a subject I am deeply sensible of all favour, and that I have no claim whatever upon you; my distresses and misfortunes in life led you first, to honor me with notice. I can own they remain in underline full force /underline and I hope you will not give me or my cause up, till I obtain a something to support myself and family in a decent way. My Commission still awaits me if I cou'd go to Newcastle under Lyne so any favour addition I have received /addition I have got a certificate, as Col.l. Elliot desird me, and I shall addition have /addition pay underline on signing underline from 22.d of July, deducting fee of Commission. I have every thing that can be got in underline these times /underline ready, and, dead, or alive, will go down if I had the means: I have not a resource under Heaven or woud scorn to pain you.
In a word £10 will enable me to go down, receive back pay, and have £103 a year, if you refuse it, all is lost. For I have no friend on earth.
I am in your
