Gunn writes that the bearer of the letter has suffered a great number of misfortunes at the hands of the French, and is now left destitute because of it. Nonetheless, he is a most respectable gentleman, and Gunn asks if Robert, Jr. would be so kind as to "introduce him to a school and divise some Means whereby he might be furnished with Necessarys to returne to his Friends or acquaintances."
