From the knowledge we have of your friendship, we are induced to take the liberty of introducing to you our Friend Mr. Miller, who is gone on very urgent business to your City, which he will explain particularly, respecting our Factor, a Mr. Jno. Pickman, from Virginia, who has eloped with a large property belonging to us, the greater part of which we find is in Bills of Exchange, drawn by Mr. Alexander and Monsr. Grand, we suppose it is only three or four weeks since he went from Dover for Paris to procure acceptance of the Bills: we shall esteem it a very particular favor if you will grant our friend, every necessary assistance in this business, it being of the utmost consequence to our concern, as such we flatter ourselves you will aid him in the best manner, which will be gratfully acknowledged by Sir Your Most Obedient Humble Servants
