My eldest Son will have the honour of presenting this letter to Your Excellency. He has been educated to the profession of Law here, and during the vacation of the Courts of justice, purposes to make a rapid excursion to the Continent. As he will be two or three weeks at Paris, he is ambitious of being introduced to you, and of being able to tell his children that he had the honour of seeing a Man whose name they will often hear mentiond.

If you can trust the partial testimony of a Father, I flatter myself you will find him possessed of such information, and such dispositions as not to be altogether unworthy of your notice. Permit me to hope that it will not be unpleasant to you to allow me to take this opportunity of recalling myself to your remembrance, and of assuring you that notwithstanding the various events which have happened since our acquaitance first commenced that I have the honour to be with great respect and attachement Sir Your Excellencys most obedient and most humble Servant
