I beg leave to Apologise for the part I have taken in this business to which I am alone prompted by the Respect I bear to the Memory of her deceased Husband & her situation as a Stranger in this Country, perchance it is her intention to depart with her Family for her Native Country Switzerland - the Instant her business is finished - I have the Honor to be most respectfully

Sir
Your
Most Obedient
Humble Servant
Philip Gidley King
