Mr. Franklin presents his Respects to Mr. Adams, and acquaints him, that a New York Gentleman, Paul Randal Esqr. is just arriv’d at Paris, and has Letters for Mr. Adams. He lodges at the Hotel d’Orleans Rue St. Anne. He has been with Mr. Franklin, but not knowing that Mr. Adams liv’d so near, did not bring his Letters out with him. He intends waiting on Mr. Adams, but perhaps the Letters may be obtain’d sooner by sending for them.

Mr. Franklin has the Honour to inform Mr. Adams, that he has now receiv’d the “Permission of Congress to return to America as soon as convenient.”
