To John Jay (unpublished)
Passy, Sept. 15. 1784
Dear Sir,

I have just seen in the English Newspapers that you and your Family are safe arrived in New York, which gives me great Pleasure. I send you herewith some of our latest News Papers. Mr. Hartley is at length recall’d, having remain’d here Six Months without doing or proposing any thing towards the Commercial Treaty. Messrs. Adams and Jefferson are here, and we go on together very well. Permit me to say my Love to Mrs. Jay and my young Friend. I am ever Yours most affectionately

B Franklin

I shall write you fully per next Packet
Honble. John Jay Esqr
