Permit me to have the honour of thanking you for your politeness in answering my former letters: I beleive your remarks perfectly just and your advice extremely prudent, and ask you a thousand pardons for the liberty I have taken as well as for the trouble I have given you.

You are kind enough to say, you wou’d take a pleasure in rendering service to a Man of merit; I presume to say you would do more in protecting Mr. D: Yes Sir you wou’d thereby render two persons happy; for he only waits to be established, to marry a young woman he has long esteemed, and whose attachment for him is equally great; and who (were it necessary) wou’d not hesitate to follow him to any part of the world where he might gain a sufficency to bring up a young family. You may judge from the talents he possesses and the motives that prompted him to wish to be speedily settled, that there are many genteel posts that wou’d suit him: and shou’d any thing present itself to you I am persuaded the goodness of your heart wou’d prevent your forgetting a man who only needs to be known to be esteemed.

As this letter needs no answer I flatter myself you will be kind enough to excuse its length. I beg you to be assured of my most sanguine wishes for the speedy and perfect recovery of your health. I have the honour to be Sir Your most Obedient most humble Servant
