the Canadian expedition distinguished himself not less by his
skill in naval architecture than by his abilities in his

of my brother; has at different times communicated with him
a great deal on the subject: & I should hope, though I
speak without authority, would not be backward upon any
occasion, in expressing a favourable opinion of him.

off any unfavourable impression that might be made arise to his preju
by the peculiarity of his situation, & as a means of satisfying in hopes of inducing you
to believe you or any friend of your's] that he would not digrace any recommendation
which you or any friend of your's might be kind
enough to give him, and that any patronage which such recommendation
might procure for him would not lay open to the
imputation of being a favour shewn to idleness to the prejudice of industry
merit.
