8 Feb 1783:41 ([2/69])
From the Freeman's Journal.
City of New York, January 1, 1783.
  To the Senate of York, with all due submission,
  Of honest Hugh Gaine the humble petition.
  An account of his life he will also prefix,
  At least what was previous to Seventy-six;
  He hopes that your honours will take no offence,
  If he send you some groans of contrition from hence,
  And further to prove that he is truly sincere,
  He wishes you all a Happy New Year.
