Autograph letter signed

Title: to Henry Knox

Called on Knox that evening but was told he was indisposed with an illness. Was going to ask for a reference for "a young Man who has for some time lived in the Capacity of Servant with you of the Name Philip Louvre." The servant showed up at his residence and offered his services. As Louvre was still technically employed by the Knox family, he is asking for permission to engage the servant as well as a description of his character. Chew wrote from Walnut Street.
