Dear Sir

The Bearer Mr. Phineas Bond, Son of Doctr. Phineas Bond of this City, is desirous of finishing his Education at the Temple; and for that Purpose now visits London. I have a particular Regard for his Parents, and from a considerable Acquaintance with his Conduct during his Apprenticeship, he also claims my Esteem; I therefore wish to render him any acceptable Service: I know, I can offer him none greater than a cordial Recommendial to your Advice and Friendship, during his Stay in England. I am confident, he will prove neither ungrateful, or unworthy of any Favors you shall confer upon him. I am Dear Sir, with much Esteem, your most Obedient humble Servant

Jos. Galloway
