From Joseph Mazurié (unpublished)
Landerneau, April 27, 1778
Sir

As I am resolvd to remove from this Place, Where I have for many years followed my Fathers Business, and to set up a House in Brest, I do take the liberty to acquaint you With it, and to make you a tender of my Services. I do not doubt but Many American Shps Will for the future visit that Port; If you have not yet made dispositions contrary to this my applying to you, and please to trust ther interests to me, you may depend, Sir they shall duely and faithfully be attended to. I heartly wish that this Letter may be productive of the effect I desire, because it Will give me frequent oportunities of Shewing you the great respect Which I remain With Sir Your most humble and obedient Servant

Jh. Mazurie
