Mr. William Vernon Junr of Boston son to the president of the Navy Board of the Eastern department having been with me these three Years past intending to return shortly to America is desireous to pass a few Days at Paris. Permit me to introduce him to your Civilities his Prudent conduct in the midst of sceenes of disipations has procured him very respectable conections at this City which I flatter myself will correspond with the Wishes and Views of his Father.

I have given him a draft on you for two Thousand four hundred livres which I request the favor of you to pay him and pass the Amount to the debit of my account.

I have the Honor to be with due respect Sir Your most Obedient Humble Servant
