My Friend Mr Barber, the Bearer hereof, has obligingly taken charge of a letter & small parcel from myself, and also a letter from our Friend D. H—— for you. He takes a journey to Paris on some Commercial Business, in which He is connected with Mr Saml Hartley (a particular Friend & relation to D H——) and which must lead to the attendance on some Men in power at your Court— This business will be best explaind by Himself; and I am a supplicant to you Sir for what aid and assistance you can give Mr. Barber in the prosecution of His plan.

His political sentiments, as well as those of Mr Saml Hartley, will not displease you; I have experiencd on many occasions Their willingness to oblige Us, and I am sure any scheme They may be upon will not be unbeneficial to our Country; I therefore beg leave to recommend Mr Barber to your usual civility and attention, & to be esteemd Your very Obligd and Obedt: Servant
