My dear grandpapa,—

I received your kind Letter of the 23 June the 29 of the same mounth I was very glad when I read that you desir’d me to come at Passy during the Vacation of the School to see you I have been sick, but I Am now recover’d and strong enough to undertake the Jorney. By the Complasance of Mr Pigott I went I great many times befor my sikness to dine to his house with Johonnot when he heard that I was sick He made me come to his country house where I recovered my health. Remember my Love to my cousin. I only expect an occassion to undertake the agreable Jorney to see you.

I am You most obedient and dutiful Grandson

B Franklin B.
