This will be delivered to you by Dr. Ross, who is strongly recommended to me by Persons of Distinction in England, and who, after travelling over a great Part of the World, wishes to fix himself for the rest of his Life in America. You will find him a very ingenious sensible Man, and be pleas’d with his Conversation: and you will therefore excuse my requesting for him those Civilities which you have a Pleasure in showing to Strangers of Merit, and such Counsels as from his Unacquaintedness with our Country may be useful to him. With great Esteem I am ever, my dear Friend, Yours most affectionately
