I have just wrote to you by Mr Duncan Ingraham Junr. upon some public Affairs— I beg Leave in this, lest he might be oblig’d to destroy that, should he meet with an Enemy just to mention him to you as my Friend, for whom I have a great Regard— He goes to France on a Plan of Business in his own Vessel: as he is a Stranger there he would be glad to be directed to Men of Probity & Honor in whom he may confide; if you or your Friends would do him this Favor it would not only greatly oblige this my Friend & me, but promote those Mercantile Connections which are one Object of the Alliance— He has good Connections here, and the best Reputation as a Man of Business.

Your’s in ev’ry Sense,
