From John Dickinson (unpublished)
Philadelphia Decr. 30th. 1782
Sir,

I cannot deny Myself the Pleasure of introducing to the Honor of your Acquaintance Mr. Benjamin Morris, the youngest son of your Friend Mr. Samuel Morris.

Your Regard for the Memory of his Father, and his own Merit, will, I am persuaded, place him before You in that Light, which his Relations desire.

I am with perfect Esteem Sir, your most obedient and hble servt.
