From Robert Melville (unpublished)
Hotel d’Espagne Rue de Guénégaud 25th. July 1783

Lieut. General Melvill presents his best respects to Doctor Franklin, and intending to set out early in next week for London, shall be very glad to receive, before Tuesday next, the letter which the Doctor Mentioned his intention of sending to Mr. Calder by G. M. and any other letters or Commands which the Doctor may be pleased to honour him with.

The General has further to beg, that the Doctor will be pleased to present his respects to Mr. Adams, and to Mr. & Mrs. Jay, if still at Passy, And to tell them that he shall be glad to carry any letters or Commands of theirs.

G. M. sent a former Note, par la petite Poste, but believing that the Direction was not proper, and that it may therefore not have reached, troubles the Doctor with this.
