Sir

Separated from Master S.C. Johonnot for a longer time than I expected, I am under apprehensions about him, and therefore must request your Excellencys Attention to him;

I have no Money in my Hands, which belongs to his Father, but am informed he has sent a Remittance for him, which I hope will soon arrive.— I must however, be responsible, for his Expenses, whether Remittances arrive or not as long as he Stays. I have the Honour to be, sir, your humb. sert

John Adams

His Excellency Dr Franklin
