My dear Sir —
My particular friend Mr Pierce has a son, who wishes some public employment under you. If you can give it him consistently with your duty, and other engagements, I should consider it the same mark of your friendship as given to my own Son.
I am my dear Sir
Your Sincere
and affectionate
friend H Knox
