<From La Breteche, near Tours, August 25, 1778, in French:
Rumor has it that some Americans have been so taken with
the beauty of Tours and surroundings that they would like to
own or rent property near the river. The lovely house I have
to offer will soon be connected by a new bridge to the center
of town. It was lived in for a year by the Ogilvie family, relatives
of the Duke of Richmond. Tours is a commercially very
active town, famous for its textiles. I hope to be of service to
you.>
