| My Dear Brother. | London April 17. 1796. |
Mr: Robert Bird, the bearer is a partner of an respectable commercial house in this place; he is now going upon a tour through the United States, and I am happy in recommending him to any services and attentions which it may be in your power to render him during his stay at New York.
I am with great regard and affection, your brother
John Q. Adams.
