<St. Malo, January 26, 1777, in English: The writer, an Irishman
and Recollect friar, addresses his letter to Franklin as “Irish
Gentle-Man” and informs him that he has a needy relative
named Geene, Ginny, or Jeanne Franklin, the widow of “your
Brother Robin Francklin” of Limerick. The letter is endorsed,
apparently by Temple, “Jane Franklin pretended.”>
