Dear Sir

He tells me that he wishes to use your interest in settling some Business at Court, and begs as he has married an American Lady that your Excellency would consider him as an American, treat him accordingly. I shall do myself the Honor of writing to you again and am the mean time Your Excellencys most obdt. obliged humble servant,
