Sir

Your very improper conduct to Mr. Barron [[sic-vfr]], a Gentleman whose character & station entitle him to respect cannot be suffered to pass unnoticed, unless therefore you shall immediately, on receipt hereof, make proper concessions to Mr. Barron [[sic-vfr]], and attend your duty under [[inder in typescript]] his direction, in a punctual & decent manner; you will be dismissed from the service.

I am Sir, &c.

H.D.

Joseph S. [[sic-vfr]] Swift.
