An early answer on this point will much oblige, Sir, your most obedient, humble servant, GEORGE BORROW.
V To the Rt.Hon.The Secretary at War WILLOW LANE, NORWICH, _May 24, 1833._ SIR,--I take the liberty of addressing you for the purpose of requesting that an order be given to the Paymaster General for the issue of the arrears of pay of my brother Lieutenant John Borrow of the West Norfolk Militia, whose agent I am by virtue of certain powers of Attorney, and also for the continuance of the payment of his disembodied allowance.

Lieutenant Borrow was not present at the last training of his Regiment, being in Mexico at the time, and knowing nothing of the matter.

I beg leave to observe that no official nor other letter was dispatched to him by the adjutant to give him notice of the event, nor was I, his agent, informed of it, he therefore cannot have forfeited his arrears and disembodied allowance.

He was moreover for twelve months previous to the training, and still is, so much indisposed from the effects of an attack of the yellow fever, that his return would be attended with great danger, which can be proved by the certificate of a Medical Gentleman practising in Norwich, who was consulted from Mexico.
Lieutenants Harper and Williams, of the same Regiment, have recovered their pay and arrears, although absent at the last training, therefore it is clear and manifest that no objection can be made to Lieut.

Borrow's claim, who went abroad with his Commanding Officer's permission, which those Gentlemen did not.
In conclusion I have to add that I have stated nothing which I cannot substantiate, and that I court the most minute scrutiny into the matter.
