Paris fryday afternoon
My dear Sir

finding myself so much better for some days past I must beg the favor of you to send in your Carriage on Monday Evening (if no other engagement prevents) & I will take possession of the Room you were so obliging to order for me—

I am informed that you have unfortunately lost two of your Servants, if you want one to replace I have a man in my Services who I think would answer your purpose, sober, attentive & intelligent he answers the Character given of him to me, he was warmly recommended to me, he has liv’d several Years with a Gentleman whose death put him to look out for another Service, Mr. [Juen’s?] family put him with me, I shall be obliged to discharge him—as I have [?] a boy for some years—his Conduct while I was Sick has gaind him my esteem & I wish to place him. If you take him on tryal I believe he will answer, however all this is in Case you have not fill’d your family again, I am Dr Sir Yours Sincerely

D S Franks

be so kind as to let me know by the Lette Post tomorrow what you determine—
Addressed: A Monsieur / Monsr. Franklin fils / à / Passy
