Writes, "It is often matter of great Regret... that it was out of my power to improve & to cultivate so much as I cou'd have wish'd, the Acquaintance I was honor'd with in your Family & to be recognized by Mrs. Knox as a near Relation." Introduces the Reverend Doctor Brown, a clergyman in the Church of Scotland, noting that he is "of unblemish'd Character and the fairest Reputation; a Man of great & superior Talents, of strong sense, great Ability, Science, Genius and profound Learning." Hopes Brown can be introduced to [George] Washington, [Alexander] Hamilton, and Pennsylvania Governor Thomas Mifflin.
