<Tuesday, [May 20(?), 1777], in English; at Mrs. Desmoulin’s,
Rue des Batailles, Chaillot: Mr. Sayre, on his departure, left
with me four letters and duplicates to be sent on the first two
ships sailing for America, and told me to find out which vessels
those would be. He introduced me to you, and I should
have applied in person if I had not feared to be troublesome.
Signed Dumont, “son of the Marquis D’aubarede,” and endorsed
by Franklin: “Mr. Dumont. Chaillot Chaillot no Date.”>
