I beg permission to introduce to your warm civilities, Lord Daer, son of the Earl of Selkirk. He was introduced to me lately as a very valuable and philosophical acquaintance, and my short intercourse with him has confirmed every report I had heard of him. His political principles are well known, and very friendly to us. He means to stay some time at Paris for his instruction and amusement. As I have no small persuasion that he will be remarkable in life, I have a pleasure in making him known to you, and to my excellent friend your son, to whom he will prove a companion often. I am, my dearest sir, Your ever affectionate, respectful and grateful,
