To François Barbé de Marbois (unpublished)
Philada. Decr. 11. 1787.
Sir,

I receiv’d the Letter you did me the Honour of writing to you the 8th of November past. On Enquiring in the Society I find that the Mistake respecting M. de Grandelair has already been rectified. I have also, agreable to your respected Recommendation plac’d the Name of M. Moreau de St. Mery on the List for Election in January next, and have no doubt of his being chosen. The Work he has presented to us, appears to be very valuable. With great and sincere Esteem and Respect, I am Sir Your most obedient and most humble Servant

B. Franklin

His Excelly M de Marbois
