Above you observe notice of my ap-
plication to the honorable Judge Cranch,
for the benefit of the Act of Congress,
for the relief of insolveht debtors. within
the District of Columbia deem an ex-
PLANTATION OF the measure due to myself
and TO you.
Having, some years past, contracted
heavy debts, by imprulent puschsses of
property, and expensive Improvements on
part of it: and having the recovery of
large sum of money, to which am emit.
tied from my fathers estate, protract>
ed by all means. of delay, which the
indefatigable counsel of my opponents
have availed themselves of, to most un-
expected length: found it necessary Tor
the satisfaction of my creditors, and for
the purpose of avoiding many suits being
brought against me, 10 convey all and eve.
ry part of my property, real, personal and
mixed, in four several deeds of trust, for
the benefit of my creditors. In these
deeds have conveyed property and debts
10 the amount of at at least ten thousand
dollars more than owe upon earth, valu~
ing the property at what it cost, or what
it would have sold for few years since;
and have no doubt, when shall be so
fortunate as to bring my sui; for the recov-
cry of my part of my fathers estate to
close, and my property is sold according
to the terms the several trusts, that there
will be much more than sufficient to pay
all my debts; and for the payment of
which, excepting that for which | am i'm
prisoned, (and tina, not a debt of my own)
and one other small debt, provisions are
made in the deeds before mentioned.
To my creditors, with the exception of
the two last cases mentioned, tender my
sincere acknowledgements for their uni
torn kindness towards me; and assure
them, the step now lake, does not lessen
the value of their claims against me; for
consider no law or usage can exonerate
debtor, who is disposed, as am, to believe
once debt always debt, until released
by the creditor OF paid, by the debtor.
