William Temple Franklin to Jonathan Williams, Jr. (unpublished)
Passy 16 April 1781
Dear Jonathan,

Your Favour of the 10 Inst. is now before me: The Bills it contained, as well as those you sent me in a former, I now return: I have taken the Liberty to put the black Cross on some of them, others of the same Sett having been previously accepted.

Inclosed I send you likewise, the extract of my Grandfathers Letter, by which he requested you to send a few Things to Mrs: Mecome.—I have not mentioned your Neglect. But it would be well to lose no time in shipping them, as I believe he has wrote her that they are sent.

It gives me great Pleasure to learn that you propose making us a Visit with Mrs: & Miss Williams:—I went with Mr: Alexander Yesterday to look for a lodging for you, & we found a very convenient & handsome one here at Passy near Me: Brillons, having a delightful Prospect & large Garden. I do not think it dear at 8 Louis pr: Month.—When you come pray bring a certain rect: that I may discharge it.—Or if it is more agreable you may draw on me immediately for the Amount, & your Drafts shall be duly honour’d.—

I sent you some time past, by M. Bogogne—several Packets for America, did they reach you? & by what Vessels have you forwarded them.—

Adieu mon cher Ami, Je vous embrasse de tout mon Coeur ainsi que vos Dames, si toute fois vous voulez bien le permettre.

W T Franklin
