I beg leave to recommend to your kind Notice Mr. Purviance son to a Respectable Merchant in Maryland. This young Gentleman proposes to make a Tour to Ireland with a View of reestablishing his Health and visiting some Relations. I shall be much obliged by your giving him the necessary passport, and whatever Civilities you may think proper to show him you may depend he will be worthy of, and I shall esteem them as a favour done to me.

My Friend Mr. Nilson, an Irish Gentn but an american in his Heart, goes with Mr. Purviance, and I openly recommend him to your notice. I am as ever most dutifully and affectionately Yours
