Dear Sir

I take the liberty of recommending to your acquaintance a gentleman of this Country (Mr Bowles) who has been bred to the profession of the law. He has some thoughts of settling in America, I believe with a view to practise the law, or to make some other establishments there, such as he may find most suitable upon trial of the Case. He is at present making enquiries for the most practicable mode of proceeding towards his proposed settlement. I hope that the interchange and communications of persons mutually friendly to both Countries, will lay a foundation of peace & future harmony between the two nations of Great Britain and America. I am Dear Sir Your much obliged friend & most obedt Servt
