The Bearer Monsieur Tardiveau is connected in Business with Monsieur Tarvouillet Merchant in this place and proposes to settle in Philadelphia. For this purpose, he wishes to obtain a Letter of Introduction from you and in consequence has desired Mr. Montaudouin to write to you in his Favour. Mr Tarvouillet is a Gentleman who has shewn me a great deal of Civility and is now fitting out a Vessell for our Country. Mr. Montaudouins Letter is perhaps more particular on this head, but in addition to it, I am desired to reccommend the Gentleman who will deliver this who I hear is worthy of your notice. I am ever tho’ much in haste most dutifully and affectionately Yours
