Dear Sir We are gratified to find that any thing we said about your poor brother should be agreeable to the feelings of his Family. It was impossible not to be taken with his manners & we had looked forward to a long & friendly intercourse with him.

We hope that you have been able to dispatch the particulars we asked for, all we require is birth parentage
