My dr Isherwood
I have no objection to your offer upon one condition: that you interest yourself with the President by your friends so as to get the innocent men condemned as Pirates (now in Boston) pardoned.
Their Execution is to take place on the eleventh day of March & I am sure they are innocent.
Work like a good fellow and get them pardon'd & we will not quarrel about the terms of an Engagement.
Yours very truely
J B Booth
