John Hanson to Thomas Sim Lee

Your Carriage is finished. Exchange is now from 90 to 100 & rising rapidly. You never gave any direction about having your Coat of Arms put on the Carriage. I have searched some Books of heraldry, Where I found the Arms for Lee Earl of Essex, Which I presume is the Arms of your family, & which I have odered to be painted on the Carriage. If it is wrong, you will be pleased to give your direction. The painter Says he Can make Any Alteration with little trouble, and no Expence to you. I think the Carriage will please you. No news.

With respect, I am, Dear sir, Your most humble Servt,

John Hanson
