William Vernon, Jr. to William Temple Franklin (unpublished)
Paris 28 Feby. 1785—
Dear Sir

The liberal & friendly manner with which you made me the offer of your services induces me to have recourse to you. You will most essentially oblige me if without any inconvenience you could lend me ten or even five Louïs untill I can dispose of my Carriage. My present situation of which you are well informed will apologize for importunity. Whatever might be my position & however pressing my circumstances I could never prevail upon myself to sacrify all the feelings of delicacy were I not encouraged by the conviction of your indulgence.

I am Dear Sir most sincerely your’s

W. H. Vernon
