"Hyde Park Gardens,
29 April, 1844.

My dear Sir,

I have just written an introduction for your son to Lord and Lady Ducie through her mother, Lady Sherbourne, and I hope it may be of some service to him, though, in point of fact, his own acquirements and character as evinced by those under whom he has himself studied almost rendered such a step unnecessary.

I am, very truly yours,
Geo. Rice Trevor."
