A letter of petition for his release from jail where Maxwell was being held under suspicion of being a Loyalist to the British Crown. "As I stand justsify'd in my consiance in not having acted any thing contrary to the Resolves of the Continental or Provincial Congress's ... I shall, gentlemen, in as few words as possible give you my real sentiments. The interest of America, I never look't upon separable from my own ... I am a citizen of the world and would defend the liberty of the country I live & expect to die in, America is my country, with her I must rise & fall, live & die."
