Esquire

This note is to inform you that I Hubbart Frazer, a soldier in the 14th regmt, was mustered for my pay and my discharge, but this moment the Inspector General informs that I am returned in for five years. It is wrong for I enlisted under Lieut. Becket for 18 month, but still if you will please to grant me my discharge I am willing to give up my land and the three months extra pay.1 Yours &c,

Hubbart Frazer
