Dr. Jeffries has informd me that he is to set off for Dover early Tomorrow Morning, in order to embark in Blanchard’s Balloon for France. I dare say you will like to be one of the first who gets a Letter across the British Channel by this kind of aerial Conveyance: I have therefore availed myself of the Opportunity to acknowledge the Receipt of your Letter from Calais and Paris, which afforded me the Pleasure to hear of your safe Arrival and the good Health of my Father.—I shall execute all your Commissions as soon as possible, and write you fully in a few Days.—I need not recommend the Doctor to your Civilities, as I am sure you will render him all in your Power, should he be so fortunate as to succeed in this new and hazardous Attempt.

Wishing you every Happiness, I remain Your affect. Father
