Dear Sr New York Haven
25 June 1784
Mr DeMde will have the honor of delivering you this. It affords me the opportunity, while I introduce him as a man of being into your offices, to recommend him most warmly to your friendship — he's ambitious, & industrious — If you once find him, as he recovers his health, capable, active, & attentive to his business here he bears an excellent good Reputation —
I have lately gone returned from New York, & am very busy, which prevents my troubling you, as usual, with a long letter
Adieu J. Withrose
Mr Pierce
