On leaving Paris I gave Mr. Grand a Bill on Messrs. Drummond my Bankers here for 50£ on which I revd. 600 Livres; I intended to have told him to appropriate a Part of the remainder to your Credit, I mean the amount of your little Bill drawn on him from hence for between 3 & 400 Livres; (the exact Sum I forget—) but in my hurry I forgot it—I beg therefore that you will shew him this Letter & desire him to make the proper appropriation—

I yesterday saw our friend in Hertford Street who thinks of Leaving this in about 10 days—I delivered your Small Packet to Mr. H. Grand but the List of Clothes was never brought to my Lodgings & therefore I could not bring it hither, as I would gladly have done—I forward herewith a Letter & parcel of Books which I recd. from Mr. B. Vaughan on your Grandfather to whom I beg my most respectful Compliments. I have found every body here so much engaged in important National Concerns, that those of an individual like me, are forced to wait for more leisure. I hope however shortly to make a begining—Mr. Jefferson desired me to enquire of Mr. Woodmason respecting the Copying Machine which you bought for him, I have done so, and been told that it was Shipped long since to Rouen, Addressed to Mr. Holker, together with a Box of Copying paper for you; whether this last has reached you, I Know not—Mr. Woodmason could not discover from his Books &c the Name of the Vessel though he promised to find it out & let me Know it but I have not heard from him since—thus I beg you will be so Kind as to Communicate to Mr. Jefferson with my respectful Compliments—I shall write to him by another opportunity Shortly—There is no late Arrival & Consequently no News from America—The Newspapers will inform you of what is doing in Parliament here—In haste I am always My Dear Friend Most Affectionately Yours
