Proceedings of the Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Committee

v1:761

COMMITTEE GENTLEMEN: I earnestly beg and do desire, gentlemen, that your Honours would be so kind as to permit me to go up to the Barracks, and there remain. My reason for going up is because I have a comrade there, and I have a desire to be with him. I hope, gentlemen, you will not think it too much to do that for me. Pardon me, gentlemen, for making so bold.

I remain, gentlemen, yours, &c˙, JONATHAN PILLING.

Lancaster, August 5, 1776.
