March 16, 1750. To all our kind benefactors. We, poor, and
unfortunate prisoners of the city-hall of New-York, now
humbly beg leave to return you our most greatful thanks, for
your benevolence, which we have received, to our great
comfort, in this our necessity.
Receiv'd we have, firing, meat and pence;
May others follow your benevolence.
When we in prison were, you came to see
What was our want, and sad extremity.
. . . [10 lines, signed] Edward Daily.
