Philada April 27th: 1780
Dear Sir

You have the same disposition to do kindnesses to all men, especially Americans, with your honored uncle and my friend Dr Franklin: Therefore, apologies are useless for desiring your friendship to the bearer Dr John Faulke, whose visit to Paris is to improve himself in the knowledge of Surgery and Physic. Oblige me Sir in making my friend (whose goodness of heart will merit your regard) acquainted with those Gentlemen who can be really serviceable to him, and in giving him your advice on all occasions relative to his living, aeconomy, &ca in that great City, and believe me to be with unfeigned respect,

Dr Sir;—Your most obedt hb Serv

Jos Wharton
