The Bearer, Joseph Fleming, beings me the enclos’d Recommendation from Mr. Swanwick, acquainting me, that he is about Soliciting some Favour from the Friends Meeting respecting an Uncle’s Estate, and seems possess’d with an Opinion that a Line from me to you might be of vast Service to him. Knowing nothing of the Affair, and being persuaded, as I have told him, that the Meeting will certainly do in it what is right, I see no Use and much Impropriety in my presuming to meddle with it. I can therefore only request that you would be pleas’d to give him a Hearing, and peruse the Papers he may have to lay before you. With great Esteem, I am, Sir, Your most humble Servant
