Altho not personally known to you, I make no apology for
introducing to your acquaintance Colo Benjamin F Foster of this place,
who goes to Texas as the agent for the Leftwich Grant.
Colo Foster is a young Lawyer of fine education and good talents—
of extensive and highly respectable connections and has always
sustained the character of a moral, intelligent and honorable young

kind civilities and friendly offices.
