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
