Sir
The above is a genteel present from Mr. King of Bedford Row.
London. he brought them in his Coach
himself to me and
subscribed likewise 3 Guineas — as he seems to be a worthy gentleman
and I believe of the established Church, it would not be amiss when you write to me to subjoin a postscript of thanks to him which I would show him
and may be productive of more favours
I am Dear
Sir
yours
etc.
