Messrs Bronaugh Willis &c
Co-Jurors in her case of Commonwealth V s Greer
Gents.
From conversations with persons both male & female neighbors of M r Greer, I am fully satisfied that the origin of the whole difficulty arose from Slanderous reports, started without any cause whatever by the deceased Shelton &c against a daughter of M r Greers, Believing you all to be, like myself protectors & defenders of female virtue & innocence, I take great pleasure in forwarding to his Excellency a petition for his release, hoping that you all may do the same
