The Bearer Mr. William Brown has been a Teacher here and is strongly recommended to me as an excellent Classic Scholar he goes to Paris to finish his Knowledge and Pronunciation of the french Language and is desirous of being introduced to you and if you should know of any Opportunity of directing him where he might teach either the english or learned Languages so as to enable him to continue the longer for his own I am it would be a great favour.

I am wholly uncertain whether you can or would desire to do any thing of this kind but he is so ambitious of being introduced to you and it has been requested of me so earnestly by a Gentleman here to whom I am much obliged that I could not refuse him this Line I am Sir your most obedient humble Servant
