| Description | My Lord,
I feel sensibly your lordship's goodness in
noticing the application of Mr. Thomas S. Hutton, which
however I must observe was made unknown to me.
My partner Mr. Watt, who I am sorry to
say is at present in Scotland, is far better acquainted
with the connexions & views of the young man in
question than I am & could, of course, have given more
explicit answers to your lordship's enquiries concerning
him; but I have no hesitation in saying that during
the 6 years he has been in the employ of the firm of
Boulton, Watt and Co his general conduct has been
satisfactory, and should he be so fortunate as to succeed in
obtaining your lordship's recommendation to the
situation he solicits I think he would not discredit
it.
I have the honor to be My Lord
Your Lordship's
Most Faithful &
Obedient humble Servant
