[TO JACOB HALL]1
Dear Sir:
Should Mr. Armour [?] call here please to give entertainment in the college till I come, as he hath spoken to me of his intention to travel with me to the south for his health. He is a man of learning and great modesty and will not take any notice of the exercises of the house unless desired by you. It is very possible he will make a good examiner if present at the visitation. I am yours with respect,
F. ASBURY
