Agreable to the desire of M. De Chaumont I inclose you a bill of Excha. drawn on him, to rest in your hands until he shall have discharged the whole Amt. I have recd in part of it, Of Gerardot & Haller, the sum of nine hundred and forty nine livres—& some odd sols—the bill is for 1500 l.t.—

I request you will be so good as to mention to M. De Chaumont that I shall be glad to have the ball. of the bill as soon as convenient to him—My most respectful Compts. to Dr Franklin & believe me to be, My Dr. sr. Yrs. sincerely
