Frederick Town 19 May 1781
Gentlemen,
Some little time ago I received a letter from Mr Commissary Genl Lorin mentioning that he had received His Excellency Genl Sir Henry Clintons Orders to apply for the Exchange of Lieut. Col. Hill of the 9th Regiment and till such time as it was affected directed that I should apply to Col. Wood or whoever superintended the Troops of Convention to procure liberty for Colonel Hill to go to New York on Parole on Account of his Health.
I wrote Colonel Wood on this Subject when in Virginia and now that he has returned had renewed my Requests which by his Representation I flatter myself to have a favorable Answer. I have the Honor to be Gentlemn Your most obedt and most humble Servant
Jas Hamilton
