Smith, William Stephens, 1755-1816
Autograph letter signed
Title: to Henry Knox
Writes a letter of introduction for two men, a Mr. Guillenard and a Mr. Blackstone, who have been having a hard time entering society in Philadelphia, even though "their talents and character entitle them to." Asks Knox to "use your influence to relieve Mr Guillenard from any unfavourable situation, that the tongue of slander or the Eye of Envy may have maliciously place him in."
