This Must be Clear to you when I mentione his name, tho' that to those who know him, is his least Recommendation.— Have however the same Indulgence for my failings that you have always had, & if not for my sake, for that of the Duke who is every Way worthy of your Esteem. Receive him in a Manner that will do Credit to my Introduction for when you know him, I am sure you will have been pleased to have done it for his, I am Your Excellency's, most obliged & m: h. S.
