 with whom I have conversed.

This will certify, that Mr. Francis Bonynge has some 

 time passed been zealously engaged in bringing to the 

 notice of the citizens of Charleston the advantages of in 

 troducing into the South Atlantic States of Carolina, 

 Georgia, Florida, &c., the tea and indigo plants, the 

 date, mangoe, and leeche trees, &c., c. 



A considerable interest has been awakened in this city, 

 among a respectable portion of our citizens, on the subject 

 thus introduced by Mr. Bonynge, and there is a fair 

 prospect of future encouragement to him in his under

He is about leaving this city on a temporary visit to 

 our neighbouring cities and towns, to submit his proposals 

 to such as may be disposed to contribute their aid, by sub 

 scribing to the above object, Mr. Bonynge has made a 

 universally favorable impression on all who have made 

 his acquaintance here, and warrants me in recommending 

 him as a gentleman, intelligent and experienced in the 

 department he is engaged in, and who, by his approved 

 intercourse among us, is entitled to the encouragement 

 and favorable consideration of every well-disposed citizen 

 or gentleman.
