Mr Isaac Norris is the son of our ancient and worthy friend Mr Charles Norris.3 Though I am confident this would be a sufficient recommendation of him to you, yet as he thinks a letter from me will be of some advantage, I cannot refuse it, especially as he is a young man of an amiable disposition, sober, modest, of good principles and good morals.

I am with the greatest respect your most Obedient And most humble Servt
