To the Commanding Officer of the detachment
of Associators left for the defence of the city.
A PRIVATE Associator, who has lately been a delinquent
at roll calling, having seen your publication of the Bth
inttant, desires to inform, that his absence has been intirely
owing to the partial and unjust conduct exercised ever thole
who had entered to do the neceflary duty of the city... He.
should not think himfelf justified in neglecting of duty, had
he not frequently desired the officers toexercife their authority,
and enrol all Associators who had not joined their refpe&ive
companies at the camp, agreeable to the Resolve of the Com
mittee of Safety of the 17th ult. this would oblige you to
compel forae of rank and fortune, who have had the credit of
associating, but never experienced any of the fatigue.or duty
attending it. Those, Sir, you still seem inclinable not to
notice as persons of no confequence.x There can be but little
expedition of., those persons being properly dealt with,
who from inability, cowardice, or an aversion to our cause,
have refufed to enter into the service of their country, if of
ficers have not resolution enough to execute the Resolves of
Convention or Committee of Safety, without refperi of per
fons,,.'
He knows of no authority any commanding officer has to>
publish delinquents without a trial, yet is by no means sur
prised at this stretch .f prerogative, as it is far Ihort of what
has been already exercised over those who have already sub,
mitted to your partial command, and should his name as a
delinquent appear in public, he shall expea it to follow these
who n^ver attended, nor have given any reasonable excuse for
their neglects If so, he shall think it his duty to return to his
company, but if otherwise, he shall rest fatisfied with the stigma.
of having dared to exercise the right of a freeman, knowing
that his offence confitts in refufing to crouch to the arbitrary
designs and impositions of a few rich men. For his part, he
knows no reason why any one Associator should enjoy privi
leges diftin& from another of equal rank and degree. When
this equality becomes the rule of conduct .for our officers, he
shall esteem it his greatest glory to serve under them.
Philadelphia, August 10, 1775..
WHEREAS fin.ce the return of the fubferiber from New
i York and Amboy, he is informed that some ill
difpofed malicious perfens, in his absence, with a view to in-,
jure his chararier, have, reported he had made his escape
from Philadelphia, in order, as well to evade being brought
to, open, and condign panifhment, and to avoid the public
refentm@nt.on account of the escape made by a certain Moses
Kirkland from the New-Jail of tnis city and county some
time pafl, as to avoid being impeached by a certain Arthur
Thomas, who was lately confined in the. said jail. These are
therefore to inform those slanderers that he is now returned
to Philadelphia, fromwhence he went on business in virtue,
of a pass cr permit from the proper.officer ; and, ,in justice tp
his charade,, calls in this public manner on those perfons
and their abettors to make good their malicious charges, if
any cause they have, ingenuously assuring such ftoundrels,
and every of them, that as soon as he shall be able to trace
the report so as to fix it, with any justice on any re
porter or reporters thereof, or their abettors, he will admi
nister to him and them that ufeful, remedy, the just demerit
of,malicious blander, the discipline of the whip in ample
portion.. THOMAS DEWEE3. .

which he hath difeovered, and brought to so great a perfec
tion from his onn experience in his practice of above forty
years ; that they have proved very fexviceable to those who
have made use of them, which is an evidence of their suc
cess, by their continually applying for them. And, as he
chooses to mix up and prepare his own medicines, which en
’groffes so much of his time, together with a continual appli
cation for his advice and medicines from most parts ot the
adjacent country in Pennsylvania and New-fcrfey, that he
cannot go abroad and visit his patients so much as he would
incline to do. .
Those who apply to lira for relief/ lie would advise them
to bring the particular complaints of the patient, as to their
pain, lickrels, fever, and ail other circuinftances which are
necessary for a physician to know, that he may be able te
difeover their disorder, and fend something for their relief.
