Dear & Hond Sir

As the English News Writers have been endeavouring to hurt us by giving bad News, I think it my Duty to give you Copy of an Account contradicting their Publication which I received from L'Orient the 4th Inst & which I wish may give you as much Pleasure as it has me. I am with much Respect Your ever Affectionate Kinsman

Jona Williams J

I have forwarded this Account to Spain.
Honble. Doctor Franklin
Addressed: a monsieur / Monsieur Franklin / Ministre plenipotentiaire / des Etats unis en son Hotel / a Passy prés Paris
