I earnestly recommend to you the enclosed letter that a tender mother wishes to send safely to her worthy son in Philadelphia. She is one of Mademoiselle Basseporte's friends; I think that this should suffice to explain the extent of my interest in this matter, and, independently of my modest recommendation, this should suffice to interest you yourself. Mademoiselle Basseporte has found the use of her legs to come personally to get me involved, as if this had been necessary; please accept her compliments and my homage
