Sir,

The bearer Serjt. Slaughter is anxious to quit the service in consequence of the repeated solicitations of his Friends in Virga. (who are very respectable.) They have remitted him a sum of money for the purpose of procuring a substitute, which he has done, the man that now accompanies him is the person—The above mentioned Mr Slaughter stands highly recommended at the War Office for a Cadetcy, by a number of respectable Characters in Virga. & likewise by the Officers whom he served under for the Term of three Years in the Southern County.

Should you be pleased Sir, to give your consent to his discharge, we shall ever consider it as a singular act of beneficence done Mr. Slaughter

We are with great respect Sir

Alexr. D Pope Lt.
