Dear Sir

Upon paying my accounts I find that I shall be deficient in money for the expences of my journey, I must request Your Excellency therefore to send me this evening another draught on Messrs Grand, for One Hundred Louis—part to be paid here and part to be disposed in a credit at Brest. I renew my sincere and ardent wishes for Your Excellencys health & happiness and [am] most respectfully Your obedt Servt.

John Laurens.
