Sirs
Though I have not the pleasure of your acquaintance,
I take the liberty of recommending the bearer John Varig,
a Bricklayer and Plasterer late in the service of my Brother
L.Col. Bentham to any good offices he may stand in need
of at your hands. He is a very honest worthy young man, and during his residence
here has behaved himself much to the satisfaction of my
Brother (in whose absence I write) and of every body else. He
is very apprehensive lest the regulation about giving notice of
departure should detain him beyond the time of sailing of the
last ships. In that case, the nature of his business affording no employment
during the winter season, he would be in danger of finding
himself destitute of every means of subsistence, that is, in other words,
of being kept to starve. To prevent such a misfortune, if, in the
event of his not being able to meet with any employment, you would
be kind enough to advance him on my account any sum not exceeding
