I have within your jurisdiction and which has already passed out of my possession I seek not to reclaim so I cannot by any mean be a trouble or annoyance to any one, or either of the parties in conflict I am and have been from the beginning a non combattant and my poverty has placed me unfortunately to be be always the recipient & not the grantor of Favors
The property I have in the South is in the possession of my son who derives a small amt of income from it, it not at this time being profitable I am now with Mr Collier & My Daughter, who will gladly share their poverty with me and after I have proved myself worthy of your Confidence or indulgence I hope to be permitted to see my Daughter & family on the E Shore in the County of Accomack
Respectfully yours
Cary S Jones
