Respected Friend.

My Nephews Daniel Bell and David Barclay being likely to spend a few days at Paris, I take the freedom to introduce them to Thee, as well for the favour of Thy Countenance, as to bring me Information of Thy Welfare—the long Winter and uncommonly late Spring have been disadvantageous to many Constitutions, in which I have had a Share, and hope, Thine has not suffered by it I am respectfully Thy Affectionate Friend.

David Barclay.
