To Vergennes (unpublished)
Passy, 14. Decr 1783.
Sir,

Permit me to introduce to your Excellency the Bearer Mr. Nesbitt a very respectable American Merchant settled at L’Orient. He will himself have the honor of communicating to you the Business he is come to Paris upon, and I request your Excellency will give him a favourable Audience and that support which the nature of his Case seems to merit. With great Respect and Esteem I am, Sir, Your Excellency’s most obedient and most humble Servant,

B Franklin

His Exy. Count de Vergennes.
