Yes, I have had a very a-
“greeable Letter from Mr Puteï, wherein he de-
“sires his most respectful compliments to you,
“&and commends himself &and his Affairs to our prayers.
“His friends, to whom he was address’daddressed, give
“him most promising hopes of success in his
“mercantile engagements, &and does not doubt of
“but in ten or twelve months he shall give
“me the pleasing accounts of his worthy em-
“ployer &and himself being as successful as they
“can wish. He met with his friend at the place
“appointed, who delivered him his credenti-
“als written in his employer’s own hand.
“His Letter bears date the 21st of AugtAugust, &and
“ he was to sail the first week of SeptrSeptember. He
“writes prettily, &and much like a christian, as
“you shall see, when we meet. He writes the
“french as easily as the english. I am greatly
“interested in his success, you may believe; &and
“he gives me the hopes of seeing him in
“Stirlingshire in due time. No news of yethe
