Letter, 1785 August 19, Paris, [France], to Maury Walker, n.p.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/62268951

Thanks Maury for agreeing to tutor his nephew, Peter Carr; explains that "no American should come to Europe under 30 years of age" for they will be spoiled by the "hollow, unmeaning manners of Europe"; his nephew's education must proceed rapidly, for "every moment [may] be valued in money"; Spanish must be substituted for Italian for him to learn; encloses a list of books he has ordered for his nephew.

3 p. on 1 leaf ; 24 cm. x 40 cm.
