M. Avery made his escape whilst they were disputing about hanging them, &c. I have heard nothing of or from my husband since, and I shall feel an everlasting gratitude, if you, General, will take measures to discover his whereabout or his fate. I am now perfectly destitute with four children.

(My husband had several months pay due to him.)

I am, General
Very respectfully 
your obedient servant. 
Mrs. Sarah Lyons
