Summary:
Received Smith's letter of 17 February and is surprised by his impatience. Reiterates circumstances in attempts to find a position for Smith's nephew, Smith wishes for him a "more suitable career than trade", and whilst he would have been happy to take him to the United States it would only be out of friendship to Smith, and circumstances are now changed by his going to Brazil. Offers instead to have him received in the most credible mercantile houses in Brazil and in addition if he chooses to settle in Brazil to obtain a grant of land for him.
