Having been informed that ~~the~~ the Judiciary Bill is like to pass into a Law–by which there will be two appointments to be made of Judges for the State of New York, vizt. An additional District Judge & One Circuit Judge—I have taken the liberty to propose to You my Son Mr. Saml.

Should Your Excellency see proper to nominate Him to the Senate, I have no doubt He will succeed And your kindness on this Occasion, will lay, both Him & Me under very great Obligations to You—

With every Sentiment of Respect & Esteem / I am, Much respected sir / Your sincere Friend & very Humble / servant.
