Signore

Eccoci la persona di cui ci parlai ieri sera. Il suo nome è Fister Bavarese di nascita, ma che parla bene l’italiano, il francese e l’inglese. Avrà da lui stesso i dettagli del suo servizio e ne vedrà i suoi certificati. Io garantisco volentieri per il suo carattere e la sua onestà perché lo conosco a fondo.

Contento di poter esser utile all’amico che lo merita ed in qualche modo a V.S. mi professo tante obbligazioni passo a segnarmi con vera stima e riconoscenza

<7?> Queen St Golden Square

5. Maggio 1833

di V.S. Ill.ma
Umil.mo ed Obb.mo Servitore

Gio Percy


Translation:

Sir

Here is the person of whom I spoke yesterday evening. His name is Fister Bavarian by birth, but he speaks Italian, French and English well. You shall receive from him the details of his service and you will see his certificates. I am happy to vouch for his character and his honesty since I know him through and through.

Pleased to be of assistance to a friend who deserves it and in some way to Your Lordship, I am obliged to you and I sign myself with true esteem and gratitude

<7?> Queen St. Golden Square

May 5th 1833

Your Most Illustrious Lordship’s
Most Humble and Obedient Servant
