Dear Sir

Permit me to introduce
to your acquaitance a highly
estimable medical gentleman
Doctor John Savage of this place.

Doctor Savage has long 
been a resident of this state and
his time directed to the useful
and practical part of his profession.
But he is induced to seek 
a change of climate this summer
on account of his ill health.

I trust that in your great
city of New York you will have
enough to interest amuse and
comfort the doctor so that his
temporary absence from his family
and friends will be less severely felt.

My last letter to you was 
from Tallahassee [?] to which
I have received no answer.
