Sir:

Permit me to use the Freedom of introducing to your Excellency, Monsr. Mountflorence who was a Captain in a french Regiment directed to be raised in this State, but the Assembly finding it impracticable to complete the said Regiment disbanded the same. He is a Gentleman well recommended to me by the field officers of his Regiment. If your Excellency shall think proper to give him an appointment in the army, I flatter myself he will faithfully discharge the duties of the same.
