Title Information:
To the friends of liberty and the constitution: My dear fellow citizens, I have been thirteen months unjustly confined in jail, though I have used every legal and constitutional means to obtain my liberty. I have to beg, as you regard truth, justice, and those sacred rights for which you have so nobly contended, you will use your influence with the House of Assembly to grant me a hearing, agreeable to the prayer of my petition presented last Tuesday week, and at this time on the table of the honorable House. Justice! Justice is the prayer of your much injured fellow citizen, /Thomas Hale. Old Jail, June 23, 1781
