Summary
Asking if he would be interested in spending the summer with the Duke of Richmond to help him "renew his acquaintance with the Classicks"; noting that he is "at a loss what advice to give [him] upon the occasion": "Such an acquaintance might lead to a further, a more serious, and a more useful connexion. It may also end in nothing, or worse than nothing"; saying that he will support him whether he decides to take the position or not.
