Thomas Clarkson to Reverend Thomas Jones 9 July 1789

Dear Sir

            I take the Liberty of introducing to your Notice Gustavus Vassa, the Bearer, a very honest, ingenious, and industrious African, who wishes to visit Cambridge. He takes with him a few Histories containing his own Life written by himself, of which he means to dispose to defray his Journey. Would you be so good as to recommend the Sale of a few and you will confer a Favour on your already obliged and obedt Servt

            Thomas Clarkson
