Three days ago I had the pleasure of recieving your favor of the 13 april. My last to you was written the 2d may. I hope you have recd it. Mrs Jay is perfectly satisfied with your Reasons for having a watch made. On the 9 Ult. I drew a Bill on his Excellency Dr. Franklin on account of our salaries, and accompanied it with a Letter of advice, from which you will perceive that I have left fifty Louis in his Hands on account of the monies advanced to you on my account.

Be assured Sir that so far at least as any arrangement shall give me an opportunity of being useful to you, it will be agreable to me, and that I shall always be happy in evincing the sincere Regard I have for Doct. Franklin by friendly attentions to a Gentleman so near and dear to him as yourself.

I am Dear Sir your most etc
