Revd Sir
	Should the Bearer Mr Lusk return to the Colony in the Brintin as master and you have any thing to send out he appears to be a very careful steady man, and may be depended upon— The Passangers [sic] give him an excellent Character for his kindness and Attentions. I therefore have taken the Liberty to recommend him—
I am
Dr Sir
Yours faithfully
S. Marsden
Revd J. Pratt
