To Rodolphe-Ferdinand Grand (unpublished)
Philada. Nov. 19. 1787
Dear Friend

I wrote a Line to you the 4th Instant, acquainting you that I had drawn on you for Twenty ought Pounds ten shillings ??? in favour of M Saml. Potts. I have since drawn for One hundred Pounds ?? in favour of M. Peter W. Gallaudel, and now for Five Hundred Pounds Sterling, in two Drafts, one of 300£ the other 200£. which are the last I propose drawing till I receive from you my Account for this Year.

The Regulus of Antimony is not yet arrived. If ?? Vessels likely to come from Nantes to America, can it not be ?? to some other Port; Bourdeaux and Briant or Havre where there may be Vessels coming?

We are all well; as I hope are you & yours. I shall write fully to my Friends ?? next Packet; at least I intend it. This goes via England.—

Adieu Yours most affectionately

B Franklin
