North Providence July 4th 1777 —
Sir
I wrote to Mr Ellery some time ago for the Petition or Complaint against me, but he did not get it for me. These are to desire you 'to get and send to me, an Attested Copy of all the Complaints against [me] to Congress or to the Marine Board, if it is in your power to procure them — if not, please to let me know the reason I can't have them, and you will oblige. Sir [&c.]
