To George Washington from Robert Digby, 10 June 1782
New York 10th June 1782
Sir
My Feelings prompted me to grant Messrs Aborn and Bowen Permission to wait on Your Excellency to represent their miserable Situation, And if Your Excellency’s feelings on this occasion are like mine you will not hesitate one moment releiving both the Brittish and Americans suffering under confinement. I have the Honor to be Your Excellency’s Very Obedient Servant
