To Dumas

Passy, May 9th. 1779.
Dear Sir,

I received yours with a Copy of the Resolution of the 26th past which gave me a great deal of Pleasure. If one Nicholas Davis, who lodges in the Warmoes Straat Amsterdam, at the House of Jan Hendrik Consé, should apply to you for Assistance as an American, I desire you to take no Notice of him for he has already cheated us of considerable Sums.

I am ever, Yours affectionately

B Franklin
