Madame la comtesse de Benyowski, whom I knew at Paris, being desirous of conversing with you on her affairs, has requested of me a line of introduction to you, to whom she has not the honour of being known. I give it with pleasure, esteeming the lady as a person of excellent caracter and great merit; and I hope you will excuse the freedom. With great respect I am, Sir, your most obedient servant
