His Friends have requested of me a Letter of Introduction to some Friend of mine in Philadelphia.6 As I know of no one so well acquainted with, & so capable of advising in such Affairs as yourself, I take the Liberty of recommending him to your Civilities, as a Person who bears here a very worthy Character. With sincere and great Esteem I am ever, dear Sir, Your most &c
