From Jonathan Williams, Jr. (unpublished)
Paris 16 July 1784
Dear and honoured Sir.

Looking over some old Papers I found the inclosed Note from our good Friend Mr. Hutton. I do not remember to have seen the same Verses under your Portrait, I think these better expressd than those in print, tho’ the Idea is the same. Our good Friend labours to distinguish between Tyranny and ministereal Influence. you will judge of his success. I send you Mr. Eulers Book, I think his Theory of Magnetism very ingenious, but not convincing, that may be because I do not understand it. I am as ever most dutifully and affectionately Yours

J Williams

When you have done with the Book please to give it to my Brother in Law who will send it to St. Germains.
Doctor Franklin.
