Dr. Calder presents his respectful compliments to Dr. Franklin, and begs leave to remind him by favour of his particular friend Mr. P. Elmsley, that there was a letter sent, or to be sent to the Hotelle D’Espagne for L. G. Melville which has never come to the hands of Dr. C. who takes this favourable opportunity to inform Dr. F. that now after his having been for many years employed in a most delicate situation all his friends are his friends still, and his enemies, such of them as survive, relinquished by their friends, are objects of his pity and generous recommendation.

If Dr. F. has any letters which he wishes to be safely transmitted to any of his many friends here, Dr. C. can assure him that he may most entirely confide in the bearer of this.
