Recommendation of Frederick Hudson
Description
"Mr. Hudson, who will deliver you this is desirous of the place of midshipman on board of our navy. This gentleman completed his studies in the law with me. He possesses talents and animation and I have no doubt will succeed in the naval career. An active temper joined to the pressure of pecuniary circumstances has determined him to embrace this course. I interest myself in his success as far as it may be compatible with your general arrangements."
