Certificate of Character for Henry Farley
ADS: Archives du Ministère des affaires étrangères
Passy, Jan. 5. 1779

Having perused several Letters from Gentlemen of Character, Friends to America, relating to Mr Farley, & having convers’d with him on the Subject of his Settling in France, I am of Opinion, that if he should be favour’d with the Permission he desires to reside in Nants, he would not make an ill Use of it to the Prejudice of this Kingdom, & that he may be a means of promoting its Commerce.

B Franklin
