TranscriptFoster of Glyde Papers.

Letter from [the 7th Earl of] Carlisle, Chancellor of the
Duchy of Lancaster, to Vere Foster, enclosing a note,
recommending him to prominent individuals in America for
assistance in his enquiries regarding the prospects for
emigrants.

Oct. [October] 6. /50 [1850]

Dear Mr Foster,

I hardly like to trouble my American
friends with direct letters of recommendation,
but if you will mention to those whom I have
named to you (by means of this note which
they would be good enough to return to you,)
that you are a distant relation of mine,
that from family, character, and disposition
you are well entitled to their consideration,
and that you are anxious to make inquiries
about the position and prospects of emigrants,
I have no doubt you will find them ready to
show you any attention which may be in their
power.

Yours truly
re.
