Abstract:
Requesting that the Chancellor of the Exchequer not remove his Royal pension, granted to the family after Benedict Arnold's death. Arnold praises the loyalty of his father and mother to the Crown during the American Revolution and mentions the "unfavorable influence" their abandonment of the American cause had on the family fortunes. Losing the pension now would force him to relocate "for the sake of cheapness" and put an unfortunate end to the education of his young children.
