This will be delivered to you by M. Thieriot, who goes to Philadelphia by order of his Court as Commissioner of the Commerce of Saxony, in order to establish a Correspondence between the two Countrys, that may, it is thought, be greatly advantageous to both. We have all along had many well-wishers in that Electorate, and I am told by the Minister here, who is much our Friend, that it is probable M. Thieriot may soon be vested with a Public Character among us. I beg leave therefore to recommend him earnestly to your Countenance & Protection, as well as to those Civilities you have always a Pleasure in showing to Strangers of Merit.— With great Esteem, I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient & most humble Servant
