From Jacques-Donatien Le Ray de Chaumont (unpublished)
[Passy, May 28, 1784]

At Passy, this 28th Day of May 1784, then adjusted all Accounts between me and M. Franklin Minister Plenipotentiary of the United States; and allowing the Ballance found to be due from me by our Arbitrator, Mr. Grand, viz. Thirty-five Thousand Six hundred and Thirty four Livres nine Sols and seven deniers, and deducting from that Sum the Sum of Eight Thousand Eight hundred and thirty three Livres since accruing to me for Rent to the seventh of April last, there remains due from me the Sum of Twenty-six Thousand Eight hundred and one Livres, nine Sols and seven deniers: But as there is a Debt due to me from the Congress in America, M. Franklin has advanced to me Twenty Thousand Livres on that Account, which with the above Ballance making in the whole Forty six thousand Eight hundred and one Livres nine Sols and seven deniers is to be deducted from the said Debt, due for Clothing delivered to General Lemoin and for Medicine. Witness my hand.
