Your Excellency will excuse me for again brining my name to view in application for some appointment under the general Government—during last summer and fall there was great probability I should never more have troubled you upon this head—it now appears as if Providence would restore me again to some measure of health & strength—any office the execution of whose duties might be principally attended to within doors I trust I would be able to discharge—I beg leave therefore to offer myself as a candidate for the Stamp office, or for any other in your Excellencies appointment the duties of which I may be able to discharge & which would afford a moderate support for my little family—the publick functions of a Preacher I am unable to perform—I look not for honour or emolument—but for a barely adequate maintenance for my family—

I am with the greatest respect / Your Excellencies, / humble servant
