'To the FREEHOLDERS and other ELECTORS in
the County of Chester,
Gentlemen,
HAVING obeyed the call of my country, by en
tering into the army a the commencement of the
revolution, and continued therein until the wac
was happily terminated by an honorable peace, I now
retire into private life, pleated with the refleaion thaq
my services have net been in vain, and inspired witg
hones that a yrat^ul country will enable me again tt
assume the charaaer of a citizen, at least with as few
embarrassments as when I laid it aside. Impressed with
this idea, and encouraged by my friends, I hereby
take the liberty of soliciting your votes at the enfuino
eleaion for the office of Sheriff, and I flatter myfelf,
that foould I sue led, you will not have occasion to
blame yourlelves for making me the obje& of your
choice; as it will be my endeavour to pay a stria and
constant attention to the several duties which fhal
present themselves to me in the execution of that office.
I am, Gentlemen, with every sentiment of esteem,
your very humble servant.
