To Sir Joseph Banks (unpublished)
Passy, Dec. 15. 1783
Dear Sir,

You have probably had enough of my Correspondence on the Subject of the Balloons, yet I cannot forbear sending you Mr. Charles’s Account of his Voyage, which contains some Circumstances that are curious and Interesting. And perhaps you may for a Conclusion have one more Letter from me by him, if he makes the Flight said to be intended the first fair Wind from Paris to London. With great Esteem, I am ever Dear Sir, Your most obedient Servant
