Full Description:
Mary Thompson to General Sir Guy Carleton. Petition from a refugee from Philadelphia, whose late husband served on the man-of-war 'Phoenix', and had to support herself and three small children, but found her allowance had been reduced from £15 per quarter. She asked that it be reinstated to the original sum but a note from Deputy Adjutant-General Mackenzie indicated an order to only pay £10, New York currency.
