Benjamin Carter

Why good day gentlemen and ladies! I am Benjamin Carter, son of
Councillor Carter, at your service.
I happen to be heir to the largest fortune in all of Virginia
so if any eligible young ladies are interested feel free to visit
me every fourth Saturday at Ferry Farms. I have been described by
my tutor as very studious and described by my friends as very witty.
No matter, I hope that you will stay a while and visit us next fourth
Saturday at Ferry Farms!
Your humble servant,
Benjamin Carter
