Transcript
The Rev.Dudley Chase, son of the late venerable Bishop Chase of Illinois, has been known to me for many years, and has my entire respect, esteem and confidence . If, in his intended visit to England, he should at any time find himself capable of receiving any service from any words of mine, I desire to state that he is, in my belief, worthy of all reliance, as a faithful, discreet and [?] minister of Christ and of the church which his father served so long and well. I commend him to all who love the Lord Jesus Christ, and desire the prosperity a communion in theWest.
Gardiner, Maine, March 24,1853
