The Consulate at Genoa being vacant by the death of Mr. Goetzius I beg leave to remind you of an application on a former occasion for that office in favor of Mr Peter Kuhn Junr. of this city a gentleman who is calculated to give satisfaction to government if appointed

I would not intrude on your time on this occasion were it not from the double motive of recalling your attention to a friend who will make a usefull officer, and of serving him.

I am with sincere respect your much obliged friend
