Excellency, for procuring Mr Alkin what he desires, and I am
accordingly charged with his Lordship's Commands to your
Excellency. Mr Alkin has produced a Letter from Mr Jenkins

favourable opinion of him. This gives his Lordship an Addi-

understand, not disapproved by your Excellency.
I am with due regard and esteem.
