Hear To Reason.
When our Brethren are suffering in Prison Ships in the neighbouring Ports, where many of them starve; and die for want, Will you not assist in giving Information where the Prisoners are conceal'd that are taken and brought into Boston, and other Sea-Ports? or will you rather feed and employ them, when they might and ought to be sent in Exchange for our Brethren: The People of the Eastern Ports are often calling on me to send for their People who have been taken, but take no care to send me any to redeem them with, although there has been many hundreds taken and carried into the different Ports to the Eastward of Boston. I therefore intreat the Inhabitants of this State; to exert themselves and take up as many as possible at this Time, as a Cartel will soon be sent to make another Exchange, and I will pay any reasonable Sum, for bringing them to my Office, at the upper Corner of Court Street, Boston.
