On account of the long time We are kept out of our pay after it becomes due. This has Obliged us to take up Necessarys from the Merchants here on Credit, for which they charge us a most extravagant Price. So that those of Us that have families, are scarcely keep them in Cloathing. Whereas if our Money was Paid Us, as it becomes due as Working Men should be, We could buy our goods on much better terms. We beg leave to acquaint you, That You promised, When We agreed to come here That We should have our Money Monthly as it became due. But so it happened, that We did not receive any, untill very near six months after We left Philadelphia. Viz. In April last. Nor did We get any more, a very small Proportion excepted, untill the September following. There is now three months owing, of which [undecipherable: probable reading "those"] of us are in very great Want, but [undecipherable] have any certain assurance, when We shall receive it. We assure you that they are serious Inconveniencies to us and We are in Hopes that [undecipherable] will be able to have them remedied [undecipherable] We shall think ourselves at liberty, and be under a necessity of looking out for Employ elsewhere. We remain with Due Respects your most Obed^t Serv^ts Wm [undecipherable: probable reading "Dunwick"] Rich.
