As I am at present at Paris on some Besonies, I Shall be much obliged to you for Sending to me my Plan on the general Education of the distinguished american youth, your Exellency will be good Enough, I hope, for letting me Know What is wanted in the plan to obtain the approbation of the high rulers of the united states & to take the must proper means to perform well the wants(?) of a true citizen of america Such as I desire to be & such as I Should desire to render every individual Living in that happy independent country.

As soon as I shall receive The plan with your observations, I’ll correct it accordingly & Shall take a new copy of it.

I hopes, sir, that your Excellency constantly animated by the public good, will be kind enough to me to recommand an institution So much wanted in the united states & only capable, indeed, to create greatness in a republican citizen of our newly rised empire.

Be pleased, sir to take your proper time to examine my plan; such an important affair is to be looked on as very serious & too much precipitation must be feard.

I am with the highest respect and esteem Sir, your Most obedient humble servant

Juls. Ct. Montfort.
