Dear Sir!
I have been informed1 you want A private secretery. if so I would be happy to serve you in that capasity; I am driven by reduced circumstances to decline the study of the Law. and now wish to place myself in such a situation as would enable me to devot part of my time to study2 while with the other I would earn it. If you should want a young man of this discription you will do me the honour to write & the necessary certificat that will be required. I remain with esteem your humble & obedient3 servant &c
