To the Comtesse de Benyowsky (unpublished)
Philada. April 4, 1786
Madam,

Since I did myself the Pleasure of writing to you by Mr. Mumford, I have heard with Concern of your Situation, being left by M. Beniousky in a strange Place, where you have few or no Acquaintance with whom you might pass the time agreably while waiting for his Return. An amiable and respectable Lady, Mrs. Lennox, who is an Inhabitant of Baltimore, is so good as to take charge of this Line for you, and I have recommended you as a Stranger of Merit to her Civilities, which I am persuaded she will have a Pleasure in affording you. With great Regard, I have the honour to be, Madam, Your most obedient servant

B. Franklin
