Your favor of the 15th Current, covering mine to you of the 31st ult, I have this moment received, and not without some emotion. Interested particularly in the success which the Publication of the Anecdotes of the King of France may meet with, I thought, Sir, (and I believe not wrong) that your Patronage to the Work would ensure the completion of my wishes. It was for this Valuable purpose that I favored Mr. OConnor with the Letter in question. I have not been long acquainted with Mr. O’Connor—but I knew him to be a man of learning—and he has produced me several good Specimens of Original Genius. My opinion of him has been greatly influenced by the recommendation he carried from Lawyer Harrison to Dr. Innes of your City. If any thing to his disadvantage has come to your Knowledge I shall thank you to communicate it to me. If I have recommended an unworthy object, I shall regret it, and beg to impute my strong expressions of regard for him, to my prepossession in favor of his abilities and the great anxiety I feel for publishing the Book to advantage.

You have the Letter returned with this: The Small Pica and Great Primer shall be forwarded agreeable to your desire, and it will go from this office in a day or two. With a perfect Sense of the many favors conferred, I have the honor to be Dear Sir Your affectionate and obliged Servant
