Sir
I am to acknowledge the honor of your letter,
& assure you I am very sensible of your polite attention in
the offer you make me of your Book ; it will give me
great pleasure to peruse it, as coming from an Officer
of so much merit, knowledge & experience.
I shall be glad of every occasion to prove myself
with great regard
Sir
Yours &c
Amherst.
