Young Robert Livingston, in whose hand this letter is apparantly written, writes to Gilbert Livingston's schoolmaster in an effort to maintain congenial relations. He sends his wishes that "I hope [Gilbert] is a good Boy and Learns his Book and obeyes his Master and Mistres," and authorizes the purchase of a pair of shoes for Gilbert, promising to send the money at the first opportunity.
