Volume 16, Page 660

PETITION TO GENERAL SUMNER.

To the Honourable General Sumner,

Sir:

We the Subscribers being Sensibly touchd. with Mr. Ruben Wheatfield’s 
Misfortune at this time being charged with Entertaining a Certain Mirrideth 
Rukes, a Deserter, we having Informed ourselves with the Circumstance of the 
Charge against him, do not think that he is guilty of a Breach of that act of 
Assembly relative to harbouring Deserters; as it don’t appear to us that he 
had any evil Intentions in giving the fellow a Meal or two of Victuals, & was 
at that time applying to Mr. Wheatfield to hire him a Substitute. We would 
recommend the old Reuben Wheatfield to your Honour’s Clemency.

We are your Honours
Most humble Servts.,
The Subscribers,
D. LAMON,
EDWD. NICKOLSON, Jr.,
JO. W. MOORE, J. P.,
MICAJ. THOMAS, 
MATT. DRAKE, J. P.,
HARDY GRIFFIN, J. P.,
AUTHUR ARRINGTON, J. P.,
JNO. BOUTIN, ATTO.,
JOS. ARRINGTON, M. of Assl.
