Mr WILLIAM KENNER
D Sr The Young Gentlm who hands you this is a Nephew of mine
and has charge of some business for me and Mr Jones—he is a
stranger in Orleans and may want the friendly advice of some
Gentlm of business in your City. I therefore take the liberty from
our former standing to recommend him to your friendly notice. I
have an unsettled act with Mr John Frances Merieult which may
require the advice of some friend, and, If you will be so good, as,
to, lend your advice to Mr Elliott in the adjustment you will lay
me under many obligations. I am Desirous to make a finish of all
(our partnership acts) as the Establishment I made with Mr Jones
in this Country is nearly at an end and I am now doing all our
transaction the boys Mr Elliott takes down is sold to Mr Jones to
close our Company ac[coun]t—out of which Mr Elliott will make use
of as much as will discharge * * *
