I beg leave to Introduce The Honorable Nathll. Tracy to your Acquaintance, a Gentleman of good Sense and who has for some time past been largely concerned in Trade and carried it on with great Reputation; He was a member of the Senate the last year, but at the close of it was oblidged to obtain leave to retire from that Business, as his affairs required him to Prepare for a Voyage to Europe, you will find him a very Agreable Gentleman, I recommend him your friendly Notice, any civility you may shew him shall be gratefully Acknowledged. I wish you much Health and Happiness and that your negotiations may do? issue to your own satisfaction and contribute to the lasting Welfare and happiness of your Constituents I remain with great Respect Your most humble Servant
