Sir!

I am informed the Press will stand still
for Want of your Pleadings in the Trial of the
Soldiers. His Honour was here last Monday & did
design to have wrote to you upon it but was
prevented: he thinks it would be a Disadvantage
to you to omit it. Mr Fleming has wrote to you &
waits.

I am Sir yr. hum Servant,
Peter Oliver
