Dear Sir,

It is long since I have had the Pleasure of hearing from you. I hope your Health continues.

If Mr Fox, to whom I give this Line, should visit the Hague, I recommend him warmly to your Civilities. He is a Gentleman of good Character, and for whom I have a great Regard, not only as an American and the Son of an old Friend, but for his personal Merit.

With much Esteem, I am ever, Dear Sir, Your affectionate Friend and humble Servant
