Passy, 22. Augt 1783.
Dear Sir,

Mr. Carnes having informed me that my Application is necessary to his obtaining a Personal Safety or Sauf Conduite, in order to afford him the Time necessary to get the Consentment of his distant Creditors, to his obtaining Lettres de Sur-seances for the space of Six Months: I hereby request you would comply with his Request, not doubting but that he is worthy of the goodness you are pleased to shew him. I have the honour to be, with great and sincere Esteem Dear Sir, Your most obedient and most humble Servant.
