Dear Sister,

I arrived here last Wednesday with my two Grandsons. & Cousin Jonathan Williams, all well, Thanks to God, after a pleasant Passage of 5 Weeks & 5 days from Land to Land. I wrote a few lines to you just before my Departure from France. I am continually surrounded by congratulating Friends, which prevents my adding more than that. I am ever

Your affectionate Brother

B. Franklin

Mrs. Mecom
My love to your Children, and Love to Cousin Williams and Family in all which my Grandsons join.
