Sandwich May 25th 1782 Honble. sir,

I have compleated as near & full as possible the description in the Complaints of the Absentees, but in the notification as you directed have been as short as possible.

Unfortunately I never considered till last evening that they should be publishd 30 Days before the sitting of the court, but if they can be in mondays Papers it will be 30 Days inclusive. I shd. be exceeding sorry if it should fail of being finishd at June Term.

Please to advise Mr. Bourn respecting matters &c.

I am Sir respectfully your most obedt. Sert. Nathl. Freeman

RC ; addressed: “To Honorable Robert T. Paine Esqr. Attoy. Genl. Boston favr. Mr. Bourn.”
