Henri-Maximilien Grand to William Temple Franklin (unpublished)
Dear Sir

I have a Ball, Indeed, to propose, but considering how hard the Times are, you must not expect to find it very grand. & In the Number there will be some hardly worth your Lordship’s Notice, however I’ll take upon me to recommend this Knowing you to be an Amateur of the fair Sex when ever you find it

If you have a Mind to be at my House on Sunday night between 6 & 7 o’Clock I’ll do my best to make you spend the remaining part of the day agreeably.

Habit de Satin &c &a you Know of course.

Addressed: Wm T: Franklin Esqr / Secretary to the Commission / Passy.
Notation: Grand H. Grand Invitation to a Ball
