Philadelphia May 31st. 1783.
Sir

We were honored yesterday by your recommendatory Letter of 22d. February last, of Torris and Wante’s house of Dunkirk; their Brig Franklin with a supercargo on board, is safe arrived; but to a bad Market, as our Port is glutted with every species of Goods; we shall however do every thing in our power to serve the interest of this House, and we trust, not discredit your recommendation of us to them.

Please to accept our thanks for your so kindly interresting yourself in our behalf, and believe us to be with respect Sir Your most Obedient and very Humble servants.

Bache & Shee

The Honble. Dr. Franklin
