I take the liberty to sending to you M. Le Chevalier de la Potiere, who has been assured that you have recently employed several people who were in less favorable situations than his own. If this was possible for others, I beg your benevolence for him, having every reason to believe that he will become more and more worthy of it. I have the honor of being, with a respectful attachment, My dear Master, Your very humble and obedient servant
