I have a delicacy about writing letters of introduction; but in this case you must pardon me if I present my nephew Mr. Samuel Moffett, to your kind consideration.

If he shall particularly need your assistance or a word of advice, he will call & say so—at other times he will be careful not to come. A busy man in busy London has little time to give to people, I am well aware of that. Now please be plain & frank m with my nephew, who has sense enough to appreciate it. You & Eustace are hereby informed that he is a manly youth, of irreproachable character, & perfectly reliable.

Good-bye.

With kindest regards to Mrs. Conway & yourself, from Mrs. Clemens & myself (who sail today for some unde specified place in Germany,)
