From Samuel Powel Griffitts (unpublished)
Lyons October 6th. 1782
Honoured Sir,

I arrived here Yesterday from Geneva, where I left young Mr. Bache very well the Day before. He, as well as his School-Mate, Mr. Johnnot were very happy to hear from you. They both appear to be contented with their Situation and what is more Monsieur Marignac seems very well satisfied with their Conduct. He treats them as Friends, and they repay him with Respect and Attention. The City is at present very still and free from Disorders.

Mr. Mays joins me in Compliments and best Wishes for your Health. We should both be very happy to hear of its being perfectly re-established. With the greatest Respect and Consideration, I remain Your much obliged hble Servant

Saml. Powel Griffitts

His Excellency Doctor Franklin
