  Shelburne 12th April 1785

Gentlemen,
Permit me favourably to solicit the release of Thomas Foster from his present confinement. I bring persuaded that he is brought to a due sense on his crimes, and will in future be cautious of threatening any person's life.
I am with due submission

Gentlemen
Your most obedient Honourable servant
Stephen Blucke

The Honourable Birch
Magistrate

Shelburne
