Dear Sir, Kingston 23rd May 1853
Although not acquainted either personally or by correspondence I am induced to address you in reply to a Letter which was handed me by Mr Isaac Lauton dated Philadelphia 1 April. Accordingly I wrote Mr Moses Saifaty giving him all the satisfaction I possibly could that I was the rightful claimant to the Book written by my Honored Grand Father Benjamin Dias Fernandes which was sent you by the late Miss Grace Aguilar from England & from which you took many Extracts no doubt an Excellent work Mr M Saifaty called on me and looked on the Original Letter and supposed not to be in your hand writing and more a h? on me I think it in that care one more on you & taking a liberty of making use of your name I gave Mr Saifaty a copy of the Letter & no doubt he has written you on the subject having a number of things to attend to & to avoid ?olescity will say no more on

on the subject for the present until you are convinced that the letter came from you or not
I am with the greatest Respect
your O Servant
David Dias Fernandes
