Dear and Honored Sir

The bearer Doctor Rigger visits Europe with a view of improving himself in his profession, which is that of Physick, and to secure some money, which is due to him in Germany. I have not the pleasure of knowing him; but a worthy Friend of mine, who does, having solicited a few Lines in his behalf, I take leave to introduce him to your acquaintance and civilities, and should he want your advice or assistance, I am very certain you will not withhold them from him. Sally and the Children are well, they join in sincere affection with Dear Sir Your affectionate Son
