SIR,

no

tion of a family under thefe cir cumftances, furrounded as by objects of diftrefs; diftracted with fear and grief; no words can exprefs my feeling, or paint the fcene. My husband given over by his phyficians, a few hours before the news arrived, and not in a ftate to be informed of the misforture; my daughter feized with a fever and delirium, raving about her brother, and without one interval of reafon, fave to hear heart- alleviating circumftances.Let your feelings, Sir, fuggeft and plead for my inexpreffible mifery. A word from you, like a voice from, heaven, will fave us from distraction and wretchednefs. I am well informed General Washington reveres your character; fay but to him you wish my fon to be releafed, and he will restore him to his diftracted family, and render him to happinefs. My fon's virtue and bravery will juftify the deed. His honour, Sir, carried him to America. He was born to affluence, independence, and the happieft profpects. Let me again fupplicate your goodnefs; let me refpectfully implore your high influence in behalf of innocence, in the cause of justice, of humanity; that you would, Sir, difpatch a letter to General Washington, from Fran, and [2]

the politeness of the French court will permit an application of a ftranger, there can doubt but one in which all the tender feelings of an individual can be interested, will meet with a favourable reception from a nobleman whofe character does honour not only to his own country, but to human nature. The fubject, Sir, on which I prefume to implore your affiftance, is too heart-piercing for me to dwell on, and common fame has, moft probably, informed you of it, it therefore renders the painful tafk unneceffary. My fon, an only fon, as dear as he is brave, amiable as he is deferving to be fo, only nine teen, a prifoner under articles of capitulation of York Town, is now confined in America, an object of retaliation. Shall an innocent fuffer for the guilty! Reprefent to yourself, Sir, the fituaVOL. XXVI.
