Content Description

He writes to seek support for his son, Richard, who won an "Ensigney" in the 30th regiment of infantry thanks to the Bishop of Durham and now hopes for a Lieutenancy. This will cost £150, which he does not have. He asks Humphry for a loan of the sum. He provides details of his income and ability to pay back the loan.
