Mrs. Ferguson,
                        Kind friend, I hope you will except my thanks for the things which you sent me, and at the same time excuse me for asking another favor of you. I am requested by a friend to ask you to send the address of some one who will send him a suit of clothes, if you know of any such person. And also some good school books, slate &c. If you can comply with this request please let me know soon.
 
                                                Respt your friend
                                                            John Humphreys
