Lafayette to William Temple Franklin (unpublished)

I Beg, my dear sir, You will let me know How You are, and what intellegences you Have from America Most of my letters are probably Under inspection. What I Have as yet got says that the docter’s Resignation Has Been Accepted, and I dont doubt as what it is in a proper Manner. that Mr Jefferson stays in france—His Secretary not Named—and then Mr Adams, with M William Smith of Newyork as Secretary, is Appointed to the Court of London

Be pleased to Return the Newspapers that Have Been forwarded By Mr jefferson and Mr Adams if you Have done with them—My Respects to Your Grand father. Adieu

Yours

Lafayette
