This address will be accompanied with an application from Mr. Andrew Huntington requesting your Aid in order to obtain a ballance due to him for monies he advanced, to relieve some French Troops in distress, at the request of Mr. Holker, then Consul; The loss is great to Mr. Huntington more than he can well Sustain, and he thinks it extreemly hard that he should Suffer so much, merely fo his ready and faithfull compliance with the request of Mr. Holker.

Mr. Huntington is a person of good reputation, and the loss he Sustains is severely felt by him, tho’ it would be of less Importance to a gentleman of great affluence, and Inconsiderable to a Nation.

Your love of Justice, I am Satisfied, will readily dispose you to grant him the needfull aid so far as your more Important engagements shall permit. I have the honour, to be with every Sentiment of Esteem and Regard your most obedient humble Servant
