Dear Sir.
I am indebted to your kindness for an answer to my application in behalf of Wilkins. Upon its reception I drafted a certificate in conformity with its requisitions. Upon sending it to the justice, he was kind enough to prepare another, which is certainly awkward enough; if awkwardness be one of the habiliaments of merit. I believe however that it contains substantially what you required - and hence enclose it to you.
Be assured that in addition to the obligation which your prompt attention to the case of this old soldier, has laid me under to you - I shall be doubly obliged, by your transmitting an answer to this - so soon as convenient. He is needy.
With the highest Consideration, I Am Sir Yrs Obed Servt
