Nothing cou’d have induced me to have taken this Liberty, but well knowing your goodness, humanity, and benevolence; I have had the misfortune Since I have been in this place, to be defrauded by two people; out of Monney, and other Effects; in vain have I applyed to the kings Attorney to have justice done me; for there is non in this place, which the natives of this place complain of a well as Strangers; the English are defrauding one an other here, every day with impunity; I know the Laws of France are just, and Equitable, and when those things are known to the first people there is great redress given, particularly to opprest women; it is in Your power Sir to procure me Such redress; another favour I have to ask of You; is that You will procure me leave from the Court; to bring over my Brothers Work which is inscribed to You here; as I can never do anything with it in England; but can do a great deal here particularly at Boulonge; as I have a great many freinds there; and by having Your Protection I cou’d do still a great deal more at Paris; I hope You will honour me with an enswere to this as soon as posible and am Sir with the Highest respect Your Much obiged Most humble Servant
