He returned to me quite sanguine that Mr Brown would entertain the idea of having him. & hoped to have gone to him on Thursday for a favourable answer - but last night he received a letter from my old friend Mr Cochran who has found some thing else for him. by the aid of Mr Brown I believe - & he goes to Boston I hope to be settled in a good house where he will get a general knowledge of the business. & facilities in selling goods - which however this opportunity may resolve [page 2] itself. may [?] be of good to him in whatever business he may eventually put his capital into. Thank you for this & so many other good things that I know not where to begin or end.

He is going to try and persuade his grand mother to stay with him a little until he gets settled a bit. Will you take a little notice of him. & give him a little counsel as to his associates. He is going to study French with a master. and bookkeeping. which will be well for him to know.
