Sir

Lt. Colonel Hammar has requested me to give him a Letter of Introduction to your Excellency; which he supposes will assist him in his military Pursuits. I have seen many Certificates from General Washington, General Howes and other officers under whom he has served; and have made a particular Enquiry into his Conduct, during the late War: And it [is] with much Pleasure I now recommend him to you as a very deserving officer. I am with the greatest Respect and Attachment Your Excellencys Obedient and humble Servant
