JAMES ADAIR ESQ. TO SIR WM. JOHNSON.

Great Sire

Tho' Pm just on ye point of returning southwardly, by ye way of Philadelphia ; yet my gratitude & intense affection incite me to send you these lines in return for yt kindness to me at yt hospitable Hall; And for yt kindly patronage of my weak & honest productions, on y® Origin of ye Indian Americans. All ranks of ye learned, here, have subscribed to their being publish'd in London, a half year, hence; And y* two volumes, Octavo, wh they consist of, Ido myself' ye particular honour, from an innate generous principle, to dedicate to you & Sir Henry Moore ; For tho' he has not seen y® manuscripts, yet, on y® strong recommendations of ye Learned, he has patronised me, both here, and in ye Islands, and every where else, that his good' nature & philosophic temper cow'd think of.
