Mr. Lee presents his respectful Compliments to Doctor Franklin and begs leave to inform him that in consequence of his appointment yesterday to come here this day at 11 oClock to examine the public papers that were to be taken out of the trunk bro’t from Nantes containing the papers of the late Mr. Thos. Morris, he got the favour of Mr. Izard to attend, as he knows the Seal and handwriting of the Gentlemen in whose presence the Trunk was seald at Nantes. However as something has prevented Dr. Franklin from attending this day and Mr. L. is very desirous of getting away to Germany as soon as possible, he begs Dr. F. will be so good as to attend tomorrow at 11 oClock precisely or mention any other day and hour that will be more agreeable to him to finish that business. Mr. L. wish’s for an answer per the Bearer, as he has also wrote to Mr. Deane on the subject and hopes he will attend whenever ’tis agreeable to Dr. F.
