Dear & hond Sir—

Agreeable to my promise I send you two of your Chapters. I have but 3 & take the Liberty to keep one for myself which hope you will permit.— The wind & weather has been the best possible for outward Bound Ships these 15 Days past, had I been under Sail I should be at least onehalf the Distance between this & America. I impatiently wait the arrival of Monsr. de Montieu.—

I am ever (in haste) Your dutifull & affectionate Kinsman

Jona. Williams J

Addressed: a monsieur / Monsieur Franklin / Ministre plenipotentiare/ des Etats Unis / en son Hotel / a Passy prés Paris.
