I have already had the honor, my illustrious doctor, of disturbing you many times for this letter of recommendation which you kindly promised me for a merchant from St. Brieuc in Brittany. Allow me to disturb you once more. There is a heavily laden vessel which is only waiting for your letter in order to depart. He wants this letter to use in Carolina; I hope you will please grant my request and give it to him. You know his name (M. La Lande Robinot). I sent you a letter from a very esteemed master of requests, which attests to his being a rich and honorable merchant who understands commerce very well. It seems that he has everything to obtain this favor from you. I have the honor of wishing you good day, very pleased to have returned to where you are living.
