From David Hartley (unpublished)
Paris May 13 1784 7 o’clock Morning
My Dear friend

I should be much obliged to you if you could send me two or three words this evening after you have seen the Minister viz only thus much He can or He can not, because as the time advances to the meeting of Parliament, It would be necessary for me to send the first part to England by our Courier early tomorrow morning if the printer cannot do the business here. I shall be employed the whole of this day and tomorrow morning, in writing my letters, and in transcribing the first part of the Address. I would rather receive two words from you than three But if three I must lose no time in England Yours ever
