Graham begins with consolation regarding the passing of Livingston's daughter. He continues by discussing a failed attempt by Gov. Fletcher to gain a commission for a Mr. Weaver, and yet mentions "My Lords interest continues very great at home." Furthermore, Graham discusses the case of Captain William Kidd, where Kidd's maid was forced to request some of the £ 8000 in gold owned by Kidd in the hands of a Capt. Clarke. Grahams tells Livingston that "if that [Kidd's fortune] could be secured, it might safe you of your bonds." Docketed on address leaf.
