| Transcript | Woolston, Kingsbridge, Devon. 2nd March 1821 My Dear Sir, I ought to have written to you before to hear testimony to the very praiseworthy loudest of your son during the time he has been in the Spartan. I really do not know any young man who bids fairer to stand high in the service, and it will always give me the greatest pleasure to hear of his welfare. If you think at any time that I can befriend him, I by you will not hesitate to employ me. When I saw him last he talked of trying to get into the force, but I recommended his consulting you first. He ought not I think, to go abroad till he has passed at the college. Mrs. Wise joins me in every kind wish, and likewise me my dear Sir. Yours very faithfully. W.F. Wise by my agents account I find he has received from you 135, which is 23.19 short of my advances to your son. This is rather beyond what he sought to have spent, but we have been to many places where he has been anxious to get different things for his sisters &c and I assure he is a very prudent Boy (or young man) in short he is every thing a father could wish a son to be. |
